5 Chic French Pedicure Ideas That Are So '90s

When it comes to a fresh manicure, French tips are undoubtedly one of the most classic and clean options. And though the trend’s heyday was back in the ’90s and early 2000s, the buzzy look has been recently revived, and is now seen on the nails of A-listers like Kim Kardashian, Ariana Grande, Jennifer Lopez, and countless more (on major red carpets and beyond).

There is nothing that can make you look and feel as put together as a matching co-ord set or coordinating mani-pedis. Luckily for the lovers of French nail art (like micro French tips, invisible French manis, and the soft girl vanilla French movement): French pedicures are hot again with celebs like Lizzo a fan of the nostalgic sandal-friendly look.

As for nail pro-approved pedicure hues for summer? Jelly-like “lip gloss” lacquered toes are a tried and true staple for the warmer months. What’s more, vivid hues like neon yellow, shades of ocean-inspired blue, and even stark white are complementary to sun-kissed skin.

Whether you just so happen to be a loyal salon goer, or much prefer that at-home polish painting life — here are the best ways to get in on the French pedicure trend that ruled the early aughts.
