After decades consigned to the outdated trend sin bin, French tips have been back in our lives and on our talons for a good few years now. But what to do if you have short nails and prefer to keep them that way?
Traditionally, French tip nails would feature a wash of sheer pink or nude over the base of your nail, finished with a long, crisp, white tip (often in a curved crescent shape) to mimic the natural line underneath - offering a 'your nail but better' effect. Now, though, this timeless style has evolved in a rainbow of colours and, mercifully for those of us who prefer the practicality and look of short nails, has been adapted to suit all nail shapes.
