If you are a fan of manicures, always looking for inspiration and new trends, don’t move, you are in the right place. This year, new trends are emerging and seem to be settling in quite comfortably. If you swear by red, why not adopt it in a cranberry version to be right on trend? We also really like it in chrome, which was particularly popular during the holidays. And if you’re not a fan of red, that’s good, the chrome effect is ultra-trendy and comes in all colors. For example, it’s great in brown or pink!
But in the world of nail art, a trend has regained its nobility for several seasons now. This is the French manicure. If with the appearance of the Mob wife trend, it is intended to be classic on square nails, it is also an infinite playground for nail art addicts. “It goes from the simple French, to the chrome French, the French with effects and the degraded French”confided Lili Creuk, nail artist and nail prosthesis trainer, interviewed by Current wife. The new trendy variation? The split French manicure.
The split French manicure, the new nail trend to adopt
As its name suggests, to adopt this manicure, we imagine a classic French but instead of the varnish covering the entire tip of the nail, it only fills half of it, which gives a vertically divided effect. This way, only a quarter of your nail will be varnished.
How to wear this manicure? You can stay classic with the nail tip in white, or in nude tones or, on the contrary, play with flashier colors, different textures and shapes, in short, there’s plenty to have fun with. To achieve it, if you don’t go to a salon, it’s simple, as detailed by nail artist Elizabeth Garcia interviewed by Byrdie. “You can paint a small dot in the center of the nail with a dotting tool and draw a line horizontally to the left or right, she says. “Then paint another line vertically from the center to the tip of the nail.” You will then obtain a small rectangle, which you can fill. You can then add a small golden nail type jewel to the corner of your French split.
