When it comes to nail styles undergoing evolutions in the past decade, the French manicure takes the cake. French manicures started as a simple, slim line of white on the tip of a nude or pink manicure. Now, we're seeing colorful, textured and dynamic renditions of the hand-painted style, all under the overarching category of French nails.
As of late, V French nails have come closer to the manicure spotlight, boasting a sharper, more trendy take on the evergreen style. V French nails are exactly what its name sounds like. These nails feature an angular, V-shaped tip as opposed to a rounded tip that follows the curvature of the nail. The style lends itself to an array of color schemes and themes perfect for almost any aesthetic. Ahead, some V French nail ideas from the artists at Vanity Projects to get you started.
