This Elegant Manicure Combines Two of the Classiest Nail Trends of All Time

Oval nails are so classy. This rounded nail shape is timeless, and suits both long and short nails. In my opinion, the rounded edges give a super neat, polished finish and makes any manicure look elegant. However, pair this nail shape with one particular nail art trend, and you've got yourself a match made in heaven. What nail art trend am I talking about, I hear you ask? None other than the classic French tip.

Yep, one look on Instagram and you'll find lots of top nail artists opting for this chic nail pairing, and who can blame them? Not only is it all over social media, but according to Google Trends, searches for this manicure trend are on the rise too. As a beauty editor who favours more minimal, everyday nail looks, I will definitely be trying this manicure out in 2025.

Although I've not tried an oval nail shape for quite some time (I usually switch between square and almond nails), after looking at pictures on Instagram, it's clear that this design is super flattering. Plus, the white French tip makes this nail shape look even more polished. That being said, if white nail designs aren't your thing, there are lots of other, super chic ways to wear this trend. From micro French tips to colourful French tips, I've rounded up all of my favourite oval French tip nail designs below, so keep on scrolling for all the inspo...
