Modern French Manicure Ideas for Playful Nail Art

Modern French manicure: a new hobby!

I really enjoy nail art! It’s honestly one of my favorite treats and one of my favorite ways to relax. Before everything changed, I only liked short square nails in one color. But now? Oh, everything has changed.

I have Anna to thank for introducing me to Zera’s IG account, which completely sparked my obsession with French manicures.Zera has a unique way of making even the most subtle details, like a soft peach half-moon, look elegant and glamorous.

Back in April 2021, I took the plunge and did my first French manicure in years. And let me tell you – I’m hooked! The natural base color with crisp white nails was refreshingly chic and gave me the sophisticated, healthy vibe I craved during a time filled with uncertainty.

Since then, I’ve been experimenting with all sorts of nail polish colors, bold designs, and even trying out different shapes. I know, right? Who the heck am I?

These days, I prefer nails that are slightly longer with rounded edges. Also, if the base color of the nails is natural and clear, the re-grown nails require little to no care. I usually keep my gel nails for about three weeks and then go back for a touch-up.

This may sound trivial, but regular manicures and trying out new designs have really brought a lot of joy into my life. Now, I’m passionate about anything that lifts my mood and keeps me positive! If you’re looking for nail art inspiration, I’ve shared a few of my favorite designs from the past year here. Also, I’ve been posting lots of new ideas on Pinterest:/MonicaBeatriceW!
