Called the “French twist with a flip side,” this nail art has some Cruella De Vil kind of vibes. With a black base and white tips with long nails and rounded shape is the hottest trend between cool girls.

How to adopted mismatched nails without looking like a kiddo? You can invest in pastel hues and earth tones that are rich and warm. Complementary tones and different shades of the same color are a go-to option as well.

Pop Deco

If you want to try something completely new and traditional French manis is too #tbt for you, know that long nail designs don’t have to be kitschy. The bandana vibes on these nails make it feel more modern.
