What Is a Muted French Manicure?

The French manicure will always be a timeless nail art. However, that doesn’t mean we shouldn’t diversify and adapt it in different ways. So, the newest hit among the nail art world is definitely the muted French manicure. For classic French nails, we adapt tips that are clearly differentiated from the base color, making it very distinct. You know that the base is usually clear and the tips white, or another shade. While for the muted French manicure, the base has the same finish or color as the tips, which gives this monochromatic vibes. For example, if you are going for white tips, the base should be milky white, creating this smooth transition. If you want hot pink French tips, then the base should be a lighter pink color. Now, we are going to show you some of the best muted French nails that you can try adapting in 2023.
