Volgograd beauty salon owner Tatyana Krasotovskaya recommends five trendy French manicure options for Summer 2025, moving beyond the classic white crescent. These include bright lemon, milky, ocean-colored, natural base, and geometric/linear designs.

The classic French manicure on a natural or nude base remains a timeless and versatile choice. It complements any situation and can be enhanced with subtle decorations like snow-white dots, while rhinestones are best avoided.

For a more modern and individual look, geometric and linear French manicures offer a creative twist. They feature clear lines, angles, or asymmetrical elements in various colors, ensuring a unique and eye-catching design.

The milky French manicure provides a natural yet elegant alternative to the traditional style. Its white edging and light base with a delicate shimmer enhance tanned skin and add sophistication to any outfit.

Embracing summer’s vibrant spirit, the bright lemon French manicure adds a touch of citrus to your nails. Experiment with lemon slices or combine yellow with pink or blue, even on short nails in a micro-French style.

Finally, the ocean-colored French manicure captures the marine theme with a pastel shade of sea wave. This color allows for creative designs like extending the crescent along the nail or drawing wavy lines, achieving a stylish and bold look.
