Have you run out of French manicure ideas? Fear not! We are here to guide you through the world of French tips designs! But before diving into it, want to know why is it called a French manicure? Despite the common belief, it does not have origins in France. The technique was invented by Max Factor, a Polish beautician and founder of the self-titled makeup brand, and was aimed for Parisian fashionistas. Later on, the founder of American nail care and polish company Orly, Jeff Pink, named the technique “French manicure and pedicure.” Although it has been in for decades now, there is still plenty to discover in the realm of French mani designs.

Glitter French Mani
A surefire way to spark up your low-key French manicure designs is adding glitter to them. You can do it in two ways – by simply applying the glitter to the nail to accentuate it or by adding it to the tips instead of white nail polish. So that it does not clash with the classic flair of the French manicure, opt for glitter in complementing shades, such as pink, gold or pink-gold.

Funny Colorful French Manicure
Your French nail designs should not always look restrained and muted. If your manicure does not have to suit a formal ambiance, then you are welcome to bring some colors to it. For a funny and creative take on a classic French manicure, switch white tips to bright and colorful ones. If you can’t decide on the color, then you can throw a whole rainbow twist to your nails.
