If you’re contemplating hopping on the French mani trend but feel that chunky, stark-white tips are just not for you, fear not: A fresh, dreamy twist on the traditional French manicure, dubbed the “French ombré,” has taken over our feeds, and we’re seriously swooning.
Much like the OG, the French ombré manicure is also typically seen in neutral nail colors of pink, white, and nude but can also be painted in whatever color or finish you desire. The main difference is that, as opposed to the traditional line of demarcation below a crisp, cleanly finished tip, a French ombré has a natural fade element instead. The end result? A gorgeous modern take on a true classic.
Ahead, see 75 of our favorite French ombré nail looks, from negative space with nail art to glam glitters.
French Fade
In this classic take on a French ombré manicure, the vibrant white tip gradually darkens to a pretty petal pink near the cuticle. The color-coordinated scrunchies are a nice touch, too.
