French ombré manicure on long and short nails: 22 of the newest and most stylish ideas

If you want to try a French manicure, but find the classic white tips too strict, don't worry! Tradition has given way to a fresh and sophisticated variant - ‘French ombré’. This style has rapidly gained popularity and has already become a real hit in our feeds, and we are completely enchanted by its elegance.

The ombré French keeps the spirit of the classic by using delicate neutral shades - pink, white or nude. However, this style is easily adaptable to any colour or type of coating that suits your mood. Its main difference is the lack of a clear boundary: instead of a strict line, the tip flows seamlessly into the base colour, creating a soft, natural gradient effect.
What do you get as a result? A modern and sophisticated interpretation of a classic manicure that's perfect for any occasion, from everyday looks to festive events.

From minimalist designs to glamorous glittery accents, discover 22 of the best ombré French manicures!
