French tip nails have never gone out of vogue, and it is easy to understand why this classic nail style has endured for so long. As renowned nail expert Daisy Kalnina, Founder of The GelBottle, astutely observes, "French tips are a timeless nail style where the tips of the nails are painted white or another colour, contrasting with a nude or pale pink base.
This look is loved for its simplicity, elegance, and versatility." The crisp edge of the tip defines the shape of the nail, lending it a polished and sophisticated finish. This subtle yet striking aesthetic has captivated fashion enthusiasts for decades, and its appeal shows no signs of waning. Originally conceived in 1975 by Jeff Pink, then CEO of Orly International, the French manicure was designed as a understated alternative to the bold red shades that were all the rage in Hollywood at the time.
Over the years... the classic French manicure has evolved to incorporate modern twists, such as varied color tips, glitter, or designs, while still retaining its signature elegance. As Kalnina notes, "French tips have maintained their popularity because they are both classic and adaptable. Their clean, minimal aesthetic complements any look, "from casual to formal." Over the years, they've evolved to incorporate modern twists—like different colour tips, "glitter," or designs—while still retaining their signature elegance." This versatility has undoubtedly contributed to the French tip's enduring appeal... making it a trend that never truly fades.
