The “Deep” French Manicure is quite the glam nail trend, and it’s easy to see why. The “deep” tag alone speaks volumes about this type of French manicure.
A deep French manicure is a modern twist on the classic French manicure, where the tips of the nails are painted in a color that is darker and more pronounced than the traditional white tips. Also called an Extreme French manicure, this nail design is characterized by thick tips with edges extending far down the sides of the nail.
Instead of the conventional white tips, deep French manicures often use darker shades such as navy blue, burgundy, emerald green, or black. To maintain consistency, the base of the nails typically remains a nude or light color, creating a sharp contrast with the dark tips. The color of the nail bed should effectively conceal the color of the nail tip.
The Deep French manicure is designed to make your fingertips appear long and slender. By deepening the smile line in the tip, the nail bed appears longer than usual. While a version can be done on shorter nails, the Deep French manicure works best on long nails—you might need extensions if you’re going to fully commit. The shape is entirely up to you; coffin, square, and almond are all popular options.
