If You Think the Classic French Is Dated, the Duo Tip Manicure Is the Perfect Alternative
Want to upgrade your French tip manicure? A double tip is the chicest way to do it.

While nail trends come and go, if there’s one manicure style that seems to endure above all others, it’s the French tip. Allowing for endless reinterpretation, from bold black French nails to fun colourful iterations, as well as classic pink and white tones, the French manicure is a look that is totally classic. However, there's no doubt it drifts in and out of fashion, and right now, other iterations are proving more popular.
You see, Wholesale Replica Bag nail trend I’ve been spotting cropping up on my feed calls time on nails with a chic single-wrapped trim. Yes, you heard it here first, all the coolest people are wearing duo French tips right now.
Sure, this look might not officially override our love for the traditional French manicure, but this trend does amplify it. Think double the French-tip design in either a single shade or contrasting colours, paired with either a classic nude pink base or, in some instances, brighter options. What could be better than one French tip? Well, two of course. Take a look at these manicures for proof…
