Classic Short & Sweet French with a Twist

This is a lovely take on the classic French manicure, perfect for shorter, squoval nails. It features some solid red nails and others with a nude base, a crisp white French tip, and a playful little swoop of silver glitter.

How I’d Recreate This:
For the red nails, a simple classic red polish ☍ will do. For the French nails, I’d apply a sheer pink or nude base ☍ . Once dry, I’d create the white French tips ☍ – nail guides can be super helpful for this on shorter nails. Then, with a fine striper brush ☍ and some silver glitter polish ☍ , I’d add that little swoosh of sparkle along the smile line of the French tip. The dots on the pinky are a cute touch, easily done with a dotting tool and white polish. This is a very wearable and charming design.
