At Octobers Chanel Spring and Summer 2013 show the models were sent down the runway with dare I say it, a French Manicure!
It's a look I've considered dated and old fashioned for many years now. It is a nail trend I was doing on my natural nails before I had my son some 13 years ago ( I used to paint them on the coach commuting to London) and I have since become of convert of a short, square dark or bright coloured nail depending on the seasons but if it was good enough for Chanel, then I thought it was high time I gave the French Manicure another chance.
I was surprised that I actually quite liked it and over the last two weeks I have actually grown rather fond of the look all over again. Sadly I have had to remove it today due to a badly ripped nail (ouch) but it is definitely a look I will be wearing again. The Chanel French Manicure has a thin and subtle white tip and the nails are not too long which can look tacky but long enough to paint the tip.
Shellac French Manicure £15.
