20 Fresh Ways To Update Your Traditional 

French Manicure

People either love French manicures or hate them. Those who are against, find them too boring and traditional and prefer brightly-colored nail polish and cool nail art. Then there are those who are devoted to their classic French manicures and obsess over the best color nude-pink for their base. What both groups may forget is that there is more than one way to do a French manicure. Why does it always have to be the expected nude base and white tips? There are endless color combinations you can try, as well as a multitude of shapes and designs. Even the most nail art addicted girls will be tempted to try some of these new ideas.
Check out 20 fun ways to update the traditional French manicure:
Zigzag French Manicure
If superheroes had a signature manicure, I am positive that this would be it. Sparkly polish mandatory.
Two-Tone Chevron French Manicure
In addition to playing around with colors, don’t be afraid to experiment with different shapes.
If you don’t want to stray too far away from white, try pastel blue tips. See, you can break out of your comfort zone.
Orange Moons And Tips French Manicure
I’m tempted to try an Orange Is The New Black joke, but as that didn’t go too well for other people, ahem Zara, I will say that this is too cool to only wear on Halloween. Love the eggplant-colored polish.
Rainbow Tips French Manicure
Pastel rainbow shades are a fresh alternative to traditional brights. The taupe base is also an interesting choice.
How cute is this? The full black-and-white polka dot finger gives it a bit of edge.
Metallic Silver Tips French Manicure
This is how I picture everyone will be wearing their nails in 2039. It has a robot vibe that looks awesome. The hardest part is finding the right silver nail polish.
Neon Green Tips French Manicure
Neon tips plus a textured black base could be too much, but it surprisingly works. This is a great idea if you want to try fluorescent nail polish but don’t want all of your nails to be glow-in-the-dark bright.
Double ZigZag Manicure
Who would have thought the the same designs that you paint on your Easter eggs would work on your nails as well?
I’ve tried leopard print nail art, but I never would have thought to try patterned tips. The asymmetric style is a fun touch–and allows you to show off more of the fun print.
