The barely-there french manicure, AKA the invisible french manicure, is an evolution of the timeless French manicure. The iconic “Frenchies” took a brief holiday from our social media feeds, and now there is an alternative to this trend.

Invisible Frenchies are a dream come true for minimalists. This manicure style starts just like the usual French manicure with a pale pink or nude base color on the nails. However, it doesn’t line the tips with a white polish. Instead, it uses a shimmery, sheer, or very light neutral polish for the lining. This also gives your nails a “clean” look while giving the impression that nothing dramatic is painted on them.

It is a modern take on the traditional nail trend. It is pretty elegant and sophisticated, making it a popular choice for formal events. The minimalistic look also makes it a great option for those who prefer a more understated look.
