Pastel or pop colours, abstract patterns, graphic lines or poetic waves... Nail art is more on-trend than ever.
Once reserved for artists at heart, nail art is now winning over more and more fans. Born in Asia, particularly South Korea, then brought to France via social media, this trend has been at the forefront of the beauty scene for several seasons.
More than a manicure, nail art personalises your hands; it’s a space for self-expression, allowing you to affirm your personality or mood. In these troubled times, we love it all the more for its fun side and lightness.
Extra vs minimalist
Some take the trend to the max with ultra-customised XL claws, but you can just as easily opt for a more minimalist style: a touch of glitter on nude polish, a different-coloured nail or a colourful French manicure smile line.
That said, we’ll admit it: nail art requires a little dexterity and patience.
First, nails must be cleaned, filed and cared for. Whether you choose a Green nail polish or a semi-permanent nail polish, don’t forget the base step to protect the nail and the top coat step to make it shine.
Depending on the desired result, accessories vary: a sponge for colour gradients, stencils, stickers to apply directly onto the polish…
Ideal for fans of graphic patterns, the new ultra-fine nail art brush is perfect for precision work and creating the most elaborate designs. The handle is made of varnished wood from sustainably managed forests, and the bristles are vegan. Let’s create!
Pssst: Don’t forget to clean the brush with nail polish remover every time you change colour and after use!
Colorblock manicure
When it comes to colour, this season’s palette is bold and vibrant. While nude shades and white semi-permanent nail polishes remain essentials, vitamin-packed shades such as ultra-red Anémone, luminous pink Peonie, coral orange Bird of Paradise and electric blue Ultramarine take centre stage and beautifully enhance your hands.
More of a less-is-more person? Go for pastel shades like woody pink Rosewood, water green Mint or pastel blue Lilas.
And if you can’t decide, no panic. The French Rainbow manicure is a must for sunny days.
The idea? Colour the tip of each nail in a different shade. To do this, we’ve created complementary colour duos and trios to mix and match as you wish. French Rainbow lets you wear original nails without needing to be a nail art expert. Simple and refreshing, it’s one to try right away!
