Manicure trends, oh, they come and go faster than our nail polish dries! From aurora nails to baby boomer nails, we’ve seen them all. But there’s one style that remains an eternal crowd-pleaser: the French manicure.
Picture this: delicate light pink polish paired with those timeless, elegant white tips. It’s a look that never fails to impress. And guess what? It’s getting a little makeover, just in time for!
A classic with a twist
Ever heard of micro-French nails? Well, thank Margot Robbie for bringing them into the limelight at the Academy’s pre-Oscars lunch. Her understated yet chic manicure perfectly complemented her classic ensemble – a vintage Chanel suit from ‘94, no less!
Micro-French nails, as coined by Robbie’s nail guru Betina Goldstein, put a modern spin on the traditional French manicure. Think super thin white tips delicately separated from the nail base. It’s subtle yet oh-so-stylish.
Even at the Oscars, where bold manicures usually steal the show, it was all about clean, fresh, and natural-looking nails. Celebs like Jennifer Lawrence, Zendaya, and Emma Stone opted for simplicity. Vogue even dubbed it ‘the nonicure’.
Short and sweet
So, what’s the big deal with a baby French manicure or nonicure? Well, for starters, it’s a breeze to maintain! The nude hue effortlessly camouflages any regrowth, meaning you can skip that salon trip until absolutely necessary. Plus, this style really shines on shorter nails, especially with a cute square shape–just ask Goldstein!
