Nail trends may come and go, but a classic that’ll always be considered a staple is the French manicure.
Whether it was Barbara Streisand in the 70s or Lauren Conrad and JLo in the 00s who made you do it, we’ve all had a love affair with the white-tipped, natural base at one point or another. And it still remains a popular choice for brides today.

But the classic has recently been given a whole new colourful twist by nail artist’s, at-home manicurists and celebrities alike, mixing the modern-day ‘skittle manicure’ trend (where each nail is a different colour) with the traditional design.
The result? A rainbow-tipped French manicure masterpiece.

Most designs have been going for a clear or beige base, with bright coloured, and rounded tips.

It’s a great design for short and long nails alike, with Kylie Jenner even jumping on the trend.

As far as DIY’ing it goes, all you need it a striping brush ($9.95, mitty.com.au), and a bit of time up your sleeve.
Start by applying your base colour on each nail, and then wait until it’s completely dry. Then, using your striping brush (which is thinner and longer than a regular nail brush for precise lines) draw on your tips. You may need to rinse the brush in between for different colours, or have multiple brushes on the go.

We for one are loving the combined trends – such a chic way to incorporate colour!
What do you think of this modern French manicure? What other nail looks are you loving lately?
I haven’t worn a colour on my nails for a while but I am in the mood to colour them in something a little bit bright – maybe it’s this dull late autumn weather that’s making me want to do this!
These are stunning! Will have to be my next set!
I love the colours used but prefer the whole nail to be painted.
I wouldn’t consider these true french manicures, plain old clear polish is all I’m using right now.
I think using tape below the tip would be easier than using a slipping brush. I prefer fully painted nails.

These nails might suit some but I prefer a full simple colour. Would like nail art but can’t do that myself.
Again, get rid of the spammers!

My Marriage restoration journey started 3 days ago when my Wife of 22 years changed me for a man 10 years younger. I am 57 and she is 55. I went through the desert and during my journey I found Doctor Isikolo. God used him to heal my broken heart and took my pains away with his Powerful Love spell. it was a tough one on me trying to get her back home without success and it became an agony for my kids and I. I trust the Lord and I know that He is going to restore my marriage. i explained everything to him and he told me what to do which i did and he did his part and my wife returned back home to me and our kids in less than 48 hours. We need to have faith. Faith is the assurance of things we hope for and the conviction of things not seen. Men and women please do not give up, God can use Doctor Isikolo to restore your marriage or your relationship. Don’t loose hope.
