Micro French Nails 2023: The Hottest Manicure Trend of the Summer!

Give your favorite French manicure a makeover with this season’s latest minimalist trend – the micro French nails! Subtle, chic with a touch of color – they’re the perfect accessory that’s going to bring refinement to your appearance. Which one of these stunning nail art designs are you going to try this summer? 

What Are Micro French Nails?

The micro French nails are, what I like to call them, a whisper of a French tip. It’s a more delicate iteration of the classic manicure trend. Instead of having a thick white strip across the tip of the nail, this manicure is done by drawing a really thin line right on the edge of the nail. Usually, this type of French nail art is done in vibrant colors that give it a more elevated and playful appearance.

The Trendiest Micro French Nails 2023

This summer’s nail trends are allowing us to be brighter and bolder than ever! Vibrant colors, neons, and playful abstract designs are just some of this season’s motifs. While French nails will absolutely never go out of style, in 2023 we’re giving the good old classic a new spin! These abstract micro French nails are right on the money for the summer season! Orange and lavender are two of the trendiest nail polish colors for the upcoming months and this combination is not to be slept on!

Lavender Ombre and Glitter Micro French Tips

The ombre effect is one of the most popular nail art techniques that remains to this day an absolute summer staple! Thanks to the endless color combinations it leaves a lot of room for experimentation. If you’re looking for an elegant manicure that has a subtle pop of color, this one checks all the boxes.
