The Complete Guide to French Tip Nails
French tip nails have been a staple of elegant manicures for over five decades. This timeless style, characterized by natural or nude base colors with contrasting tips, offers a clean and sophisticated look that complements any outfit or occasion.
History of French Manicure
The French manicure was created by Jeff Pink, founder of Orly, in 1975. Originally designed to help Hollywood actresses quickly change their nail color between scenes, the style became a global phenomenon. Despite its name, the French tip actually originated in the United States and was named "French" to evoke Parisian elegance and sophistication.
Modern French Tip Variations
While the classic white-tip French manicure remains popular, modern variations have expanded the possibilities dramatically:
