Subtle Colored French: 13 Ideas for an Updated French Manicure That Are Perfect for Summer

Have you ever noticed how, over the years, trends go in and out of style but often come back with totally new names? Take yoga pants, for example. What was a cult-favorite silhouette in the late aughts and early 2010s has since re-emerged, only with the updated name of "flared leggings."

Conversely, some trend names come back into the picture but refer to something else entirely. Just look at lip liner nails. In 2017, lip liner nails referred to manicures in which the entire nail was covered in a neutral, lip liner-inspired shade. Today, that moniker has been applied to ultra-fine, micro-tip French manicures. Equal parts subtle and sophisticated, it's the perfect nail art for those looking for a little way to make a big difference to their mani. Keep scrolling for 13 of our favorite lip liner nail ideas.

01 Red Lip Liner Nails

If your signature lip is cherry red, why not match your manicure for a well-rounded beauty look? 

02  Metallic Lip Liner Nails

Metallic nail polish is all the rage, and the ultra-thin metallic French manicure is a particularly stylish take on the lip liner trend. This manicure combines sophistication with modern chic, drawing attention with its subtle shine.

03  Neon Yellow Lip Liner Nails

Remember: Lip liner nails are all about fine-lining the tips, not solely adopting lip liner-inspired shades. Suffice it to say we're swooning over this neon rendition. 

04 Periwinkle Blue Lip Liner Nails

Blue is one of the hottest nail colors this year, so this design is perfect for you.

11 Rainbow Lip Liner Nails

Multi-colored lip liner nails are the easiest way to add a playful spin to the trend without all the effort. All you need is a crisp neutral base to highlight the colorful rainbow on the tips.

12 Sticker Up the Lip Liner Nails

Your lip liner nails don't have to have so much empty space. Add a fun surprise to the look by putting a design at the neutral part of your nail—like Meagan K's bright tips with ladybug accents.

13 Subtly Goth Lip Liner Nails

While we love a classic white French manicure, there's nothing more chic than going the opposite route with black nail tips. For your next lip liner look, simply swap the pristine white for a jet-black polish. Add a top coat for a shiny finish and voilà!
