The French manicure is your usual go-to, but at the salon, it costs you 30-40€ every 2-3 weeks, and if you do it yourself with regular polish, the line never looks perfect.
And if you also want to update it to this season's versions—black or gold tips, flowers—you need to find a manicurist who masters those techniques, with all the waiting lists that entails.
NOOVES gel strips come with the design already printed with salon-level precision: apply them in 15 minutes, the line is always perfect, and they last 2-3 weeks without needing any touch-ups.
1. Black tip: the most editorial version
This is the most photographed trend of the season: replacing the classic white tip with a black line. The result is a much more graphic and modern French, perfect if you want a look with character while staying within the classic realm.
2. French Elegance: the timeless French, perfected
Before you can reinvent it, you have to master it. This is the classic French in its most polished version: crisp lines, a natural base, and that flawless finish that continues to make it the most requested manicure, season after season.
3. French Grace: the most flattering option for short nails
With the return of short to medium nails, the French line adapts: thinner and more subtle, so the design looks proportionate even on more discreet shapes.
4. Up to Date: French with a graphic twist
For those who want to go one step further without giving up the French base: a small graphic detail in black and white that updates the design without losing its essence.
5. Flowers: the floral French, the most romantic
Micro floral nail art on a French base: delicate, flattering, and with that feminine touch that pairs perfectly with transitional-season outfits.
6. Étoile d'Hiver: French with a silver sparkle
A nod to the approaching cold season: a nude base with a silver glitter that adds brightness without losing the discreet elegance that defines every good French manicure.

Frequently Asked Questions
Does the black-tipped French manicure look good on any nail shape?
Yes, it works especially well on square and almond nails, though it also looks great on short, rounded nails.
How do I choose the right strip size?
Each set includes strips in various sizes to fit all 10 nails; you just have to choose the one that best matches each finger before applying heat.
Can I apply the strips without a UV lamp?
Yes, they are made of pre-cured gel and are activated with friction heat using the included applicator. The UV/LED lamp is optional and helps extend the wear.
What is the difference between the French styles you show?
Mainly the color and thickness of the tip line, and whether they include additional nail art (flowers, glitter, graphic details). The natural base is the same for all of them.
Start with the French + Lamp Pack
Includes one French strip set of your choice and a portable 8w UV/LED lamp for maximum hold.
