Fashionable French manicure ideas for May 2025: the newest and most modern trends

Classic French manicure is a design that never goes out of style and has maintained its popularity for many years. It embodies elegance, purity, and restrained luxury, remaining a symbol of sophistication. In recent years, we have witnessed numerous creative interpretations of the French manicure, from chrome tips to vibrant ombré. These modern variations only enhance its relevance, adding a fresh perspective to the classic style. In May, it's especially fitting to incorporate spring accents into the French manicure: pastel shades, fruity motifs, and light decorative elements. Scroll down to discover 8 of the most inspiring French manicure ideas for this month.

01 Sky Blue French

This manicure symbolizes spring, with sky-blue shades that embody our hopes for clear and cloudless skies this month. 

02 Pink and Blue

This delicate manicure evokes associations with a light summer dessert, full of sweetness. 

03 Bright Cherries

Cherries have become a real trend this season, from perfumes to manicures. This spring design combines sparkling pink French tips with charming nail stones, creating bright cherries that add playfulness and freshness to the look. 

04 Almond French Manicure

Classic designs are always in style, and rightly so. Choose a minimalist French manicure in white and nude shades and give it a modern touch with the elegant almond shape of the nails. 

05 Barbie French

Barbie-colored nails are the embodiment of classic feminine elegance, inspired by the iconic doll that was a part of our childhood. For this manicure, two shades are perfect – bright pink and soft pink, creating a harmonious combination. If you prefer a monochrome style, choose one rich shade to feel like a true Barbie. 

06 Buttercup Yellow and Pink 

Buttercup yellow is a color that never loses its relevance, and we certainly won’t be the first or the last to say this. But if you want to add some brightness to buttercup yellow nails, try decorating them with a pink (or any other shade you like!) stripe at the base of the nail tip. 

07 Romantic Flowers

This forest-inspired design with flowers at the tips of the nails looks truly romantic. It perfectly updates the classic French manicure by replacing the usual solid color with sophisticated floral accents. Such a manicure adds a touch of nature and lightness, creating a unique and elegant look. We are absolutely thrilled with this creative approach! 

08 Blue Flowers

With a delicate blue floral pattern on each nail, this manicure will be a perfect choice for spring. While blue looks especially harmonious, you can adapt the design to your taste by choosing any shade for the flowers—such as lilac or mint.
