A Definitive Guide to the Different French Manicures You Can Get

This pink french manicure has double smile lines at the tip. The neon orange line hugs the pink one, creating an eye-catching design.

If you don't want to go for a white tip, you can try a black french manicure. This look can be worn year-round, but it especially fits the fall and winter months.

The milk-bath nail trend is still going strong. Combine the look with a smile line at the tip for a milky french manicure that is super crisp looking.

With the inverted or reverse french manicure, your cuticles are lined in a solid nail polish color instead of the nail tips.

Instead of using plain white nail polish, the glitter french manicure incorporates a glittery nail polish on the tip of your nails for extra sparkle.

The micro french manicure sees a super-thin line of color at the tip of the nail as opposed to the thicker line of color that you see with deep french manicures. It's great for natural and short-nail enthusiasts as it doesn't require much length. It's incredibly simple but chic.

The ombré french manicure looks especially beautiful on short nails and fades the tip color into the base.

For a naked or natural french manicure, use a soft pink or nude that's almost exactly the same as your natural nail color. It creates the illusion of a barely-there smile line.

The double french manicure involves two lines at the tip of the nail. They can either have negative space between them or hug closely together.

The french-moon french manicure is perfect for winter. It's "where black or metallic hues are used to trace a crescent shape along the cuticle line," Sarah Gibson Tuttle, founder and CEO of nail brand Olive & June, previously told PS. "It's fun and festive while still being sophisticated."

The deep french manicure looks a lot like a traditional french mani — the only difference is the tip of the nail is much thicker and extends deeper into the base color.

The glass french manicure trend uses clear gel nail extensions to give fingertips the look of glass.

The "filigree" french manicure is described as "delicate, open lines done at the tip," celebrity nail artist Elle Gerstein previously told PS. The nail-art trend is inspired by the intricate art style that traditionally uses metalwork or wire-detailing to trace a specific pattern onto an object.

The floating tips french manicure trend is similar to the glass french manicure. The difference is, with the floating tip version, the base of the nail is painted a solid color while only the tip of the nail is clear.

The metallic french manicure trend is a favorite of celebrities. To get the look, simply use a metallic nail polish shade, like gold or silver, instead of classic white.

The two-toned french manicure uses two tones of the same nail polish color to create a double line at the tip of each nail.

The pointed french manicure trend is traditionally done on coffin- or square-shaped nails, but it can be done on any other shape you choose. The trend features a tip that comes to a point in the middle.

The V-cut-french-manicure trend doesn't have a traditional french tip. Instead, at the end of the nail, it has two lines that cross in a V shape.

The split-french-manicure trend has a single line at the tip of the nail, but instead of using one shade for the smile line, you use two complementary colors that meet in the middle for a split look.
