02 Cutouts at the Cuticle
Can't decide on one shade of brown? Choose five at once! Add stylish cutouts at the cuticle—this element will give your manicure an extra flair and make a neutral design even more interesting and dynamic.
03 3D French Manicure
You can create a perfect French manicure using five shades of brown—from light to dark chocolate. To add a trendy accent, try applying a clear building gel in swirls at the tips of the nails. We do love 3D accessories!
04 Micro French Manicure
A classic French manicure traditionally features a nude base with bright tips, but what if you flip this classic concept? A milk chocolate base with cream tips creates an incredibly stylish and refined look. This combination looks perfect on nails of any length, adding elegance and modern charm.
05 Chocolate Swirls
To emphasize the trend of chocolate nails, you don’t have to choose a brown base. On a translucent nude base, rich two-tone chocolate swirls look especially stylish and elegant. And don't forget the glossy top coat, which will give your manicure a flawless shine and finish.
06 French Manicure with Dots
Another way to enhance the chocolate French manicure is to add contrasting dots, which will create an interesting accent and highlight the elegance of the design.
