Modern French Manicure & Custom Nail Art
I have taken the timeless French manicure and given it a fresh, modern update. Whether you are looking for classic white tips or bold chrome lines, I create designs that make your nails the highlight of your look.
The "cherry cola" French. This design features a deep burgundy tip on a sheer pink base, creating a trendy and sophisticated look on long, square-shaped extensions.

About The French Edit
Getting a French manicure is about more than just a white line; it is about the shape and the structure. I pay close attention to your natural nail bed—whether you prefer almond, coffin, or square shapes—to ensure the tip width sits perfectly. If your natural nails are prone to breaking, I recommend my acrylic extensions as a base; it holds the design longer and keeps the edge crisp, even when we add 3D accents.
Elevating the French Tip
The French manicure is a classic for a reason, but it does not have to be boring. In my studio, I treat every set as a canvas. We move far beyond the standard white strip. I love experimenting with chrome lines, double tips, or using vibrant colors like burgundy and summer neons instead of the traditional palette.
My Process & Technique
I start with a dry manicure to clean the cuticles, which is non-negotiable for a clean, professional look. Depending on your preference, I use high-quality acrylic for durability or gel for a more flexible, natural feel. When you ask for detailed art—like tiny 3D bows, rhinestones, or hand-painted florals—I use professional jewelry gel to ensure those pieces stay put. You will not find sloppy lines or lifted tips here.
Why My French Sets Last
A common complaint with French manicures is the tip chipping after a few days. Because I seal every set with a high-gloss, premium top coat and take time with the base structure, my clients often get 3-4 weeks of wear before needing a refill. Whether you are prepping for a wedding, a party, or just want clean, everyday nails, I customize the arch and the tip width to suit your finger shape specifically.
