People Are 100% More Likely to Think You Look Demure and Polished If You Have a “Vanilla French” Manicure

Is there anything more elegant than a French tip manicure? This nail trend is so popular right now, and there’s no denying how polished it looks. That being said, as someone who loves a more muted manicure, I’ve been keen to find a softer alternative to a bright white French tip. Luckily for me, “vanilla French” nails are a thing, and they are even chicer than they sound…

What Is a Vanilla French Manicure?

Originally coined by celebrity nail artist, Zola Ganzorigt, a vanilla French mani is essentially a softer, creamier take on your typical French tip. Instead of opting for a classic white nail polish, this trend involves using more subtle, milky hues to give a gorgeous “vanilla” effect. It often features a slightly sheer finish too, which makes it look even more sophisticated in my opinion.
