Popsugar Beauty Nails French Manicure Ideas The Classic French Manicure Just Got a Major Upgrade — Here Are 100+ Ideas to Inspire You 12 October 2019 by Katelyn Evans Image Source: Instagram Remember when you got your first french manicure? It was a box of press-on nails at Boots that fell off one by one.

But the 2019 trend forecast is in, and the classic french mani is back — with a major upgrade. We've rounded up a few of our favourite modern "french tip" manicures that will give your digits a lift in the new year. Hint: it's looking a lot more colourful, glittery, and patterned than the boring old white. Read on to get inspired before heading to the salon for a fresh set.
