Modern French Manicure and Custom Nail Art
Who says French tips have to be boring? I love playing with bold colours, V-shapes, and glitter to give your nails a fresh, modern vibe. Let's make your nails the talk of the town!
A perfect example of a modern French manicure. These long, almond-shaped extensions feature a clean nude base and striking V-shaped tips in a bold royal blue.
From a bare hand to this pretty, finished look. This set features a mix of shimmery silver glitter nails, classic white French tips, and a single accent nail with a delicate flower.
A behind the scenes look at me carefully hand-painting these abstract French tips. Using a fine brush allows me to get those clean lines and detailed swirls just right.
Your feet deserve pretty nails too. Here is a classic pedicure with a vibrant red polish, finished with a clean white French tip on the big toes for a timeless look.
About The French Manicure, Reimagined
Getting that crisp French line isn't just about the polish, it's about the prep work. I always start with a proper dry manicure and cuticle clean-up, because a smooth canvas is the only way to get those clean, sharp tips to actually last 3 to 4 weeks without peeling.
The classic French tip is timeless, but I really believe in making it your own. In my studio, I don't just do the standard white line. Whether you are into those edgy, deep V-shapes, bold blue or red tips, or even a touch of glitter to make it pop, we can make it happen.
I’m super particular about the technique here. Every session starts with a deep dry manicure to push back cuticles and buff the nail plate, ensuring the gel base adheres perfectly. If you are going for extensions, I use structured hard gel or polygel to get that perfect arch and durability. It’s all about the details, from the precision of the hand-painted line to the final top coat that keeps it chip-free.
If you have a reference image you're dying to try, bring it along! My goal is to make sure you walk out feeling pretty and confident. Remember, good nail art is a commitment to good prep, so tension na lijiye, I’ve got you covered. Let’s create something luvly together 🧿.
