Not all French manicures require covering the entire tip of the nail.
@vanityprojects
This one shows how statement-making it can be to try a slanted and slightly curvy swath of color.
Our favorite is theEssie Luxeffects Nail Polish in Summit of Style.
For an extra pop of glam, consider bedazzling your nails with a rhinestone or two.

From there, place a few drops of different polish colors side-by-side on a plate.
Use a sponge to gently pick up all the colors and press it on your nails.
It will effortlessly blend between the shades for a subtle, faded effect.
