7 French Tip Manicure Trends That Will Dominate in 2024

When it comes to fast-moving beauty trends, nail art is as speedy as they come. Trending colours come and go faster than I can call the nail salon to have my gels removed, and what one celebrity might have been spotted with on the red carpet one month will be “dated” by the next. Of course, all that aside, I’m a firm believer in wearing whatever on your nails makes you happy—milky neturals might be in right now, but a punchy pillarbox red mani will always be my go-to. And while coquettish floral designs may work for some, I’m all about a simplistic approach to nail art. 

However, there’s one nail look that will always be popular and that’s the humble French tip. Already named as one of the nail styles set to dominate this spring, the timeless French manicure transcends trend cycles and remains one of the most-requested looks in salons year-on-year. Why? Well, it’s much in part to the sheer versatility of the style. The classic neutral base and chic white tip will always be timeless, but you can experiment with everything from tip colour to nail shape to create a really personalised manicure that works for you. “It leaves scope to be updated with many variations in depth and different colour ways,” explains session manicurist Ami Streets. “And it therefore remains on trend and contemporary whatever the season.”
