Megan Fox is a bona fide beauty maven in every sense of the phrase. She’s no stranger to experimenting with hair color, testing out new makeup looks, and, as evidenced recently, getting creative with manicures. This week, the 38-year-old actress visited celebrity manicurist and Lost Angels founder Brittney Boyce for a nail look that’s edgy, dramatic, and quintessentially her. Naturally, we’re dubbing it the “Megan Fox French.”
Boyce shared an up-close photo of her client’s nail look on her Instagram grid, showcasing a twist on the classic French manicure. Instead of the tip being significantly shorter than the base, the duo swapped those roles, opting for a long, chunky white French tip and a short base. The nail artist added a curved design to the tips and accentuated the long, coffin-shaped nails with gemstones for a touch of sparkle.

Fox isn’t alone in redefining the French manicure. Countless celebrities are putting their own spin on the timeless design, a phenomenon that’s turned into a trend in its own right. “The classic French manicure will always be a go-to look for nail lovers, but the popular style continues to evolve with a variety of ways to put a twist on the classic look,” celebrity manicurist Julie Kandalec previously told NewBeauty. Recently, Kylie Jenner debuted a thin, pastel yellow French manicure with nails decorated with garden-inspired creepy-crawlies, brought to life by celebrity manicurist Zola Ganzorigt.

Another standout is Heidi Klum’s rainbow French manicure, crafted by celebrity manicurist Tom Bachik. Klum’s long, almond-shaped nails featured a different pastel-colored French tip on each finger, accompanied by a matching pedicure in alternating hues.
Klum’s manicure ties into a specific trend that JINsoon brand founder Jin Soon Choi previously highlighted in a former interview with NewBeauty. “This summer, French manicures are getting a vibrant makeover,” she told us, referring to 2024, specifically. “Instead of the traditional white tips in a clean French shape, embrace bold colors like purples, greens, yellows, or even a rainbow of shades in ombre, with each finger showcasing a different hue. This colorful twist on a classic look adds a fun and modern flair, perfect for the sunny season.”
