Squiggle French Manicures Are Experiencing a Boom on Instagram

Creative French manicures have been one of the biggest nail art trends of the last year, and we’re not leaving them behind. They’re back and stronger than ever in the form of trendy squiggle French manicures, which embrace two of the biggest current nail art trends at the same time.

Squiggle manicures aren’t a novelty in the nail art world, and they’ve been everywhere last summer. This rising craze reimagines these fun patterns in the form of the French manicure, and it’s truly the best of both worlds.

Like the classic French, this chic nail art trend will have you covering your tips with a different design than the rest of your nail, but not necessarily a bright white base. This signature component of the French manicure is being replaced with squiggle lines in different colors and shapes.

Of course, you can always keep your tips white and just add squiggles to the mix, but the real magic happens when you start playing around with colors. The playful nature of squiggle French manicures is one of the main reasons why they became such a huge hit, and the more colorful they are—the better.
