The Modern French Manicure

From the day that ORLY founder, Jeff Pink, created the Original French Manicure, ORLY has been evolving the look based on fashion and beauty trends. Discover completely re-imagined twists on the pink and white classic nail look. Today a French Manicure comes in all guises, from multi-coloured tips, bold black and white designs, negative space to 3D textures. Blurred lines, asymmetrical tips, accentuated cuticles and even tip piercings and textures are used to bring this classical look right into the 21st Century.
