Fall Nail Trend: Reverse French Manicure
Showing up all over the runways from Tracy Reese to Christian Dior, the Reverse French Manicure is the look of the moment. A perfect fit for both the short dress with boots or the sculpted skirt with heels, this is one color scheme that matches everything.
Unlike the Reverse French Manicures of past trends, which show white nails with black tips, this season’s Reverse French takes an avant guard turn with black nails and white tips or a half moon curved ivory bottom to the nail with the rest of the nail black.
To get this look, start with a base coat, then paint two thin coats of a light color (this season preferably ivory), next apply a coat of black leaving a half moon shape of the lite color at the bottom (if you are doing this yourself it may be easier to turn your nails towards you for this last part). Finish with a top coat to keep your manicure durable all week.
If this trend strikes you as a bit heavy, play with it a little. Try Garnet colored nails with an ivory half moon bottom or a chocolate nail with white or ivory tips. All of these trends look gorgeous with the colors and styles of Fall and it adds a certain modern finish to the vintage looks shown on the runways.
