2024 started with so many cool nail trends. FromEyeshadow Nailsabout the sparklingAurora Designright down to the fancy onesCoquette nailswith bows and beads - it's getting harder and harder to choose a nail design for the next appointment. But if you're always looking for ways to wear a French manicure, then you'll love the latest modern twist on the timeless design: the "split" French manicure, more commonly known as the split French.

What exactly is the Split French?

Okay, first to the design. Think classic French nail tips, but split down the middle. A distinction is made between different variants. The line can be divided into two equal parts, with a small gap in the middle, or it can only extend halfway up the nail. Different colors can be combined to create a unique design.

The V-Tip French is always my choice when I switch to a square nail shape. This two-tone version is already on my list. The white and glittery layout is so elegant and enchanting that I can't take my eyes off it.

If you want something more subtle, then gold glitter is always a good choice.

Elegant in black and white

If you are a black and white girl, the split French nails are an ideal nail design for you. No matter whether your nails are short or long, paint half of the nail tip black and the other half white and admire your favorite color combination.

Swirl nails have been all the rage in recent years. You can use the elegant technique to paint the split nail tips. A two-tone design with some sparkling accents always looks elegant and classy.

Colored designs

Of course, color should not be missing for a spring-like design. Whether color blocking or plain nail tips in an eye-catching shade, colored nails always put you in a good mood.
