When it comes to nail-art trends [1], it doesn't get more traditional than a french manicure [2]. The classic nail design featuring white tips was once a go-to for nail-art-lovers in the early 2000s, and it's slowly crept its way back into the mainstream [3] over the last few years in more ways than one. People these days are getting creative with their french manicures — from the slanted [4] to the inverted — and with warmer weather on the horizon, you can expect another switch-up, only this time with colour à la "neon french twist" nails.

A "neon french twist" manicure features tips that are painted with neon colours versus the standard white. "The future is looking brighter, and we're starting to see a hopeful end that's being reflected through colour," celebrity manicurist Elle Gerstein [5] told POPSUGAR. "Multiple neons are a big trend right now."

Gerstein coined the term for the nail-art design, which she claims is not only a fresh way to add life into a classic but also the perfect way to have fun with multiple neons at once. "We're straying away from solid-colour manicures and having fun with mixing and matching," she said. "Neons are adding a twist to the classic french manicure. I love the feeling these colours give, they are an instant mood boost."
