Kim Kardashian Just Got A French Manicure Proving The '00s Are Back

Is this tricky nail trend back? - by Arielle Tsoukatos

Kim Kardashian Just Got A French Manicure Proving The '00s Are Back

The most recent crop of early-2000s inspired beauty trends have inspired me to try looks that I haven't worn since high school. From fashion hair clips to super shiny lipgloss and the flippy bob. The latest nostalgic beauty trend to have a sudden resurgence is the French manicure. Courtesy of beauty mogul Kim Kardashian no less.  

Kardashian's French-tipped nails are exactly how you remember them: painted clear with a thin, straight white strip lining the tips of the nails. The way Kardashian's nails are painted isn't the only thing that makes her manicure choice so controversial. She also had her nails filed into a square shape — another nail trend that was left behind in the early aughts once almond-shaped nails were in.  

Kim's French-tipped nails are exactly how you remember them from nearly two decades ago: painted with a neutral beige shade and thin white tip. Her choice of polish isn't the only thing that makes her manicure choice so unexpected. She also had her nails filed into a square shape — another nail trend that was left behind in favour of round and almond shapes.

Will french-tipped becomes a huge nail trend in 2019? Only time will tell.
