It’s not necessarily fair to put a French manicure in the category of nail trends. Frenchies are far from new and have maintained a longevity that many of today’s nail looks could only dream of. Still, when a fresh version appears or a particular color becomes popular, it’s only right to recognize its viral status. Pink French manicures are a prime example. With a simple change of color, they’re currently having a renaissance among the beauty set. A pop of pink may sound mundane—but that’s where you’re wrong. The pink Frenchies flooding Instagram feeds are more about getting creative with the shade than going for simplicity. Even better? They’re leaning into the variation of the color rather than relying on the pink hearts that are typical this time of year. If you’re ready to embrace the pink French manicure “trend,” there’s no shortage of inspiration. Below, you’ll find 10 cool looks to help guide your decision.

Pink French Manicure Looks We Love

1 / 10

Bubblegum Pink and White Tips

The classic French manicure colors get a modern twist with this pared-down style. Instead of thick white tips, it features a strip of white polish along the nail’s natural curve and a bold pop of pink. The result is a manicure that feels elevated, fresh and never dated.

Micro French

While a traditional French manicure is timeless and elegant, don’t underestimate a micro version. With slim lines, a nude base and perfectly groomed nails, it’s just as sophisticated.

Pink Jelly

Invisible Frenchies are some of the most enchanting. These nails take the look to the next level using a natural tip and pink jelly polish. The translucent shade is key to creating the illusion of French tips.
