Colorful French Tips
Bright French manicure tips are still going to be very popular. This manicure is delicate and has a splash of color at the tip. You can make it fun with heart shapes or zigzag patterns at the ends.
Mix Of Shapes
For a nail shape that looks good on everyone and works with both long and short nails, try ‘squoval.’ It’s a combo of square and oval shapes. Use a nail file to smooth the edges of your nails for a stylish, neat manicure.
Press-On Nails

Fresh Nails
Fresh neutrals never go out of style. Keeping your cuticles neat, your skin moisturized, and adding a light coat of sheer nude polish that matches your skin tone will still be popular in 2024.

Painting hearts is easier than you think. Just put some polish on a palette, use a bobby pin to make two dots on your nail, and then connect them with a nail art brush to create the pointy bottom!
Expensive Blue
