23 subtle “French Nails” ideas for winter 2024
1. Brown tones
Have you ever thought about a French manicure in soft brown tones? This example shows how elegant this can look. Each of the tips is painted in a different color, the nails themselves shine in a nude that matches the skin tone. Tip: Best combined with gold jewelry.
2. Pearl white
Stars like Anne Hathaway are currently proving this. Now the shimmering color also takes on the main role in the French manicure. To do this, the nail tips are first painted white and then a shimmering mother-of-pearl varnish is applied.
3. Burgundy French
If there is a trend color that we see everywhere in winter 2024? whether as a boot trend or accessories?, then it's burgundy! And the color couldn't be more fitting for the holiday season. So it's no wonder that the trend is reaching our fingertips.
4. Graphic French
With this variant of French nails, the nail tips are not completely covered, but the other half is left out or supplemented with a nude tone. A perfect option for anyone who loves the classic but still wants a change.
5. Nude Natural French
Wow, what a brilliant idea. This manicure combines different shades of nude and brown. The French tips are only visible very subtly? and slightly lighter than the shade on the entire nail.
6. Silver Tips
If you like silver, for example in jewelry, subtle nail tips in bright silver are the right choice. Here the outermost tip is also set off with a black edge. Totally classy!
7. Rosewood and copper
This manicure can be combined beautifully with rosewood lipstick. A matt polish in the same tone is applied to the nails, followed by copper-colored French tips.
8. Stiletto French
If you want to stay true to the classic, you can also play with the nail shape and, for example, opt for the currently popular stiletto nails.
9. Cloud French
How cute is this cloud manicure, where the tips are not painted in solid white, but rather with small, delicate clouds? The best way to do this is to make an appointment with a professional or work with nail stickers.
10. Purple Magic
You have to look very closely here to see the loving and subtle details. The entire nail is painted with a mauve tone. The color was then outlined with a delicate gold stripe? and also the tip edged with gold. The highlight: The tip is overall slightly lighter than the rest of the manicure.
11. Dezente Dots
Two-tone French nails and little dots? That sounds too overwhelming at first. But if you go for delicate rosé, subtle beige and white mini dots, it will be the perfect manicure.
12. Black and Soft White
White and black can be used to create wonderful manicures that go with many outfits. In the French version, bright white covers the entire nail, while black tips in different shapes are a subtle eye-catcher.
13. Leo-Lack
You can see from this beautiful one that the Leo look doesn't always just scream for attention, which uses the pattern discreetly, and only on the tips. An eye-catcher is a nail in the classic version: a white tip can be seen on the ring finger.
14. Metallic French Double
Glittering silver and gold come together in this cool nail design. One decorates the tip, the other the nail bed. Perfect for special occasions.
15. Modern French Tips
This French version with geometric nail tips in white and black is clean, chic and subtle and is immediately an eye-catcher.
16. Brownies
Different shades of chocolate adorn these nails. On rosé-colored French polish, first add a delicate line (use a very fine brush) and then add a wide, painted tip. Also great as a supplement.
17. French Waves
Subtle nail idea with white: Here we stick with the classic French colors, but the white is placed and shaped differently on each nail. What they have in common: gentle waves and curves.
18. Rosé, olé!
A mixture of different shades of pink and white appears on the nails in this French manicure. The small, almost invisible hearts on the ring finger are eye-catchers, but of course they are optional.
19. Granite Tips
Granite-colored glitter tips look super elegant on the nails. They look particularly good with an almond-shaped nail shape.
20. Children's chocolate
Do you know the color when you take a bite from a children's bar? This manicure with creamy brown and white French tips reminds us of exactly that.
21. Gold Dust
Who says metallic always has to be flashy and eye-catching? This manicure shows how minimalism and glitter go together!
22. Buttered French Nails
With the ?Buttered French Nails? is the name program. You get buttery yellow tips that are super minimalist and yet an unusual eye-catcher.
23. Schildpatt Tips
How about a French nail variant that finds its inspiration directly in nature? The tortoiseshell look not only looks great on sunglasses and other accessories, but also on nails.
