All about white French in 2024! Traditional design does not have to be boring: experiments with shades and shapes are only welcome these days. How and what to complement a French manicure with to make it look truly fashionable?
White French is a universal manicure for any occasion. But we do not suggest repeating the boring version of a regular or laid-out French with a white border, but encourage you to choose bolder and more extravagant techniques. Let’s get started! But first, we invite you to a video lesson on creating a basic French manicure.
Nail design “white french”: new products and trends 2024
The 2024 nail art fashion puts forward contradictory requirements for the “white French” nail design. On the one hand, simple geometric shapes and minimalist patterns are in trend, on the other hand, bouillon, loose glitter and other bright accessories for decorating nails have come out of the shadows. What to do? We offer six trends that will definitely remain relevant next year.
White French with Rhinestones
Last year, we couldn’t do without a white French manicure with rhinestones — silver, gold or colored. Use them to accent one nail or all at once. But in the latter case, give preference to smaller ones. We will tell you more about how to create an image with rhinestones in a separate section of this material. For now, we will demonstrate the most fashionable technique of this year — decorating only the lunulae of the nails or their contours with rhinestones. You can complement this design with another art element — for example, a blue pattern, as in the first photo of the white French manicure.

White French manicure with a design on the ring finger
In the case of a white French manicure with a design on the ring finger, your imagination is not limited: any colors are “friends” with white. The main thing is not to make the design too large and make sure that it is at some distance from the edge of the nail.

If you are confident with a manicure brush, you can make the white border part of the design.

The third option is to fill the entire surface of one nail with a white French manicure and not highlight its edge with any color at all. Decorate the rest of the nails using the classic white French manicure technique.

Even a monochrome image of a white French manicure with a pattern can look unusual and interesting. Mark the edge of the nail with white polish, as in a classic French manicure, and “fill” the rest of the nail plate with a mesh.

White French with design
To make a fashionable white French manicure with a design, experiment with the shape of the white line. A popular solution is to depict a flower, a monogram or a heart on the tip of the nail. This manicure is often preferred by brides because it looks gentle and romantic.

Highlighting the edge of the nail with stripes of different colors is a simple and effective beauty trick. If you are a fan of nude manicure and classic white French manicure, combine muted pastel-colored varnishes in one look: powder, soft pink, nude, light brown. But using brighter shades is also not forbidden.

White French manicure on nails of different shapes and lengths
Initially, French was usually done on fairly long nails, but nowadays it is done even on very short ones. In addition, this type of nail design rhymes with any nail shape. An overview of different options is in our selection.
White French on short nails
Speaking about French, it would be fair to call nails of medium length short. This length is practical, convenient and always looks neat. French goes well with this length – see for yourself.
Below we offer another option with rhinestones in place of the usual holes. Lilac and white French is especially delicate. It is important to choose rhinestones of suitable tones so that they match the color of the base coat.

White French on long nails
Despite the fact that long nails are now at the peak of popularity, not every girl dares to wear them. There is always a risk that they will break, and they also limit freedom of movement. But they go well with a French manicure, so it is worth making a sacrifice for the sake of beauty.

White French Manicure for Sharp Nails
Sharp nails, especially with a white French manicure, often look outrageous. But if you have a fun party coming up or a busy vacation program ahead, they will be more of an advantage than a disadvantage. Try on an “all in one” look. Here you have a French manicure, ombre, matte nails, and even rhinestones. With such a manicure, there is definitely nothing to do in the office or at a business meeting – go ahead, to a party or a rave!

Not quite a classic white French manicure for sharp nails: extra-long nails seem unusual, and the white color covers not the border at the edge of the nail, but half of the plate. The image is complemented by an effective gradient of the color of the sea wave. To achieve such a glossy, almost pearlescent shine, you can use rubbing.
