If I had to pick the most versatile, endlessly reinvented nail trend of the past decade, French nails would take the cake hands down (pun intended). From the slim lines of micro French manis to shimmery chrome French nails or out-of-the-box inverted Frenchies, the French manicure keeps getting a modern zhuzh. Recently, deep French nails have emerged, captivating classic French manicure stans far and wide, with a slightly exaggerated, extra sultry take on the signature style. By extending the French tip deeper down the nail bed (hence the name!), deep French nails help to elongate your natural nail while adding intrigue to an otherwise timeless style. Whether you have a wedding coming up or are just looking for some chic nail inspo, check out these must-have deep French manicures to get you started.
