Hailey Bieber once again proved that the French mani isn't going anywhere with her latest summer set, and I'm begging her to post a close-up so I can replicate it on my own.
The French manicure may just be the perfect manicure. Think about it! It goes with literally everything, like a wedding dress, your favorite denim cutoffs or a vintage one-piece, and is infinitely customisable.
You can swap the white tips for baby blue, soften it with an American manicure or stick to the classic pink-and-white palette. The sky — or is the nail salon? — is the limit, which is why the faithful French is having a big resurgence in 2023.
Hailey Bieber isn't just synonymous with glazed donut skin; she's also one of the biggest manicure trendsetters of the 2020s. Bieber helped popularise the white chrome manicure, and though she's never really abandoned that frosted finish, she has expanded her horizons to include the French mani. Case in point: the delectable dessert-inspired set she shared in a brief Instagram Story post.
Rhode Skin has just dropped in the UK.
In the mirror snap, we see that Bieber's nails are filed into her preferred long almond shape and painted with a creamy baby strawberry pink base, typical of most classic French manis. If you zoom in, you'll see that her tips look white, but upon closer examination, it's white with the teeniest drop of lime green, just like the refreshing pastel palette of a cup of sherbet. OK, yum?! Did she get inspired after a trip to the ice cream shop? Is she bored with donuts and moving on to icy-cold sherbet and sorbet, or r am I just hungry? The twist is so subtle that you probably wouldn't notice it at first, which makes this manicure all the most delicious.
We love a hidden detail, especially one that (yet again) proves the sheer power of a good old-fashioned French manicure.
