"Get your tips out!" Southern says. Twist on a Classic French is proving really popular for Autumn. "These [nails] in particular are inspired by old-school sweets, such as fruit salad and lemon sherbets. You can opt for a classic manicure with a touch of colour to make your manicure stand out," says Southern. "We recommend to mix two or three colours for an understated yet effective manicure, and we use The Gel Bottle neon colours for the best and boldest results." Similar to negative space nails, this version of a French manicure twist has no regrowth line, meaning your manicure lasts even longer. As this art is a little more technical, ask your nail tech to swap out the regular white French manicure polish for your favourite neon hues, and you can even add extra detail like the manicure pictured by giving it a tie-dye effect.
Nail artist Kate Williamson agrees, "gone are the white square tips of the 2000's, now we're seeing a cooler version of patterned marbled coloured tips, or a nude-peach ombré."
