deep French manicure is a bolder rendition of the classic French manis. The original comes with the tip of the nail painted white or off-white, while the base is left a natural or pale color. While, in this contemporary offering, the deep French manicure, the white tip is more pronounced and thick compared to the traditional style, creating a bolder look.
The beauty world constantly reinvents classic manicure trends, but one thing about French tips is their ability to remain minimal and effortless. Deep French manicures have recently become a celebrity’s favorite and are an important aesthetic for the quiet luxury fad.
Here’s how to achieve a deep French manicure this season…
- Prep your nails: Start by cleaning your nails and removing any old polish. Trim and shape your nails as desired, then push back your cuticles.
- Base coat: Apply a clear base coat to protect your nails and to help the polish adhere better.
- Choose your colors: Select a nail color for the base. Traditional French manicures often use a sheer pink or nude shade for the base, but you can also experiment with other soft colors. For the tip, choose a white, off-white, or any other color of polish.
- Apply the base color: Paint your nails with the chosen base color. Allow it to dry completely before proceeding.
- Create the white (or any color) tips: Using a white, off-white (or any color of your choice) polish, carefully paint the tips of your nails. To achieve the “deep” effect, make the tip thicker than usual. You can use nail guides or tape to help create clean, straight lines.
- Cleanup: If you’ve made any mistakes or if the lines aren’t as clean as you’d like, use a small brush dipped in nail polish remover to tidy up the edges.
- Apply the top coat: Once the white tips are dry, apply a clear top coat to seal the design and add shine. This will also help protect your manicure and make it last longer.
- Moisturize: After the top coat has dried completely, moisturize your hands and nails for a pampered feel.
With these steps, you can achieve a stylish deep French manicure at home. Feel free to experiment with different colors, designs, and techniques to personalize the look to your taste.
