This summer, French manicure will no longer be the star of salons! A graphic and ultra stylish trend is already establishing itself as the new beauty reflex to adopt.
Long considered the chic and timeless option par excellence, the French manicure seems to be gradually losing ground. With the arrival of sunny days, beauty trends take a bolder, more graphic and above all much more creative turn. This summer, nails become a real field of expression, far from the perfectly demure classic nudes.
For several seasons now, minimalist inspirations from Korea and the ultra visual nail arts seen on Instagram and Pinterest have strongly influenced salons. Result: traditional monochrome manicures are no longer enough. Beauty addicts are now looking for designs capable of transforming a simple beauty treatment into a full-fledged fashion accessory. And celebrities are no strangers to this. From red carpets to festivals, original manicures are everywhere: chrome effects, 3D details, micro drawings, pastel gradients… Each week brings its new obsession. Yet one trend in particular is already starting to overwhelm all others as summer approaches.
His strong point? It works equally well on short and long nails, remains elegant and can adapt to absolutely all the colors of the season. From swimming pool blue to buttery yellow, including sorbet tones or metallic shades, it allows for all kinds of imagination. This trend immediately gives a sophisticated effect, even with a very simple outfit. White jeans, a linen dress or a minimalist black swimsuit are enough to highlight it.
And unlike some manicures that are very complicated to reproduce, this one can easily be done at home with a little precision and a few fine brushes. His nickname? Striped manicure. Graphic and retro, it is already shaping up to be the essential nail art of the coming weeks. Vertical, horizontal, multi-colored or ultra minimalist, stripes bring an immediate fashion touch to nails and recall the Riviera aesthetic which already dominates summer collections.
In addition, they can be discreet and refined or, on the contrary, very pop depending on the colors chosen. It is precisely this ability to adapt to all styles that could well make this manicure the great replacement for the French as soon as the sunny days arrive.
