The ultra-glossy take is popping up left and right, with some designs leaning minimal with milky and soapy washes of color, while others prioritize the statement. Ultra-glossy takes on trending colors and patterns are popular (glass polka dot French? Yes, please), but one particularly popular variation is using chrome, velvet, and cat-eye finishes for a mesmerizing illusion of a result. No matter your typical nail art vibe, it more than likely translates to a French with a glass finish\u2014and the more high-shine, the better. <strong>Ahead,<\/strong><strong>see 16 glass French manicure ideas to get your creative juices flowing<\/strong>.\n<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<div id=\"list-sc__content_1-0\" class=\"comp list-sc__content mntl-sc-page mntl-block\" data-sc-sticky-offset=\"125\" data-sc-ad-label-height=\"15\" data-sc-ad-track-spacing=\"100\" data-sc-min-track-height=\"250\" data-sc-max-track-height=\"600\" data-sc-breakpoint=\"50em\" data-sc-load-immediate=\"5\" data-sc-content-positions=\"[1, 1250, 1, 1, 1, 1, 1, 1, 1]\" data-bind-scroll-on-start=\"true\">\n<div id=\"list-sc-item_1-0\" class=\"comp list-sc-item mntl-block\">\n<div id=\"list-marker_1-0\" class=\"comp list-marker\"><span class=\"list-marker__index\">01<\/span><span class=\"list-marker__total\">of 16<\/span><\/div>\n<div id=\"list-sc-item__content_1-0\" class=\"comp list-sc-item__content mntl-block\">\n<h2 id=\"mntl-sc-block_2-0\" class=\"comp mntl-sc-block beauty-sc-block-heading mntl-sc-block-heading mntl-sc-list-item-title\"><span class=\"mntl-sc-block-heading__text text-title-300\"> Milky Monochrome Micro White French <\/span><\/h2>\n<figure id=\"mntl-sc-block_3-0\" class=\"comp mntl-sc-block beauty-sc-block-image mntl-sc-block-image mntl-sc-block-image--full-width figure-square figure-high-res\">\n<div class=\"figure-media\">\n<div class=\"img-placeholder\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"2000\" height=\"2000\" alt=\"A hand resting on a soft surface fingernails styled in a minimalist almondshaped manicure featuring a white French tip design\" class=\"lazyload mntl-image mntl-image universal-image__image\" id=\"mntl-sc-block-image_1-0\" src=\"https:\/\/www.byrdie.com\/thmb\/uZpCc5ybPM4_tE3XG1lnik6P4Yc=\/1500x0\/filters:no_upscale():max_bytes(150000):strip_icc():format(webp)\/MilkyMonochromeMicroWhiteFrench-114a4cfc9fa34687ad2d309634828f72.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.byrdie.com\/thmb\/uZpCc5ybPM4_tE3XG1lnik6P4Yc=\/1500x0\/filters:no_upscale():max_bytes(150000):strip_icc():format(webp)\/MilkyMonochromeMicroWhiteFrench-114a4cfc9fa34687ad2d309634828f72.jpg\" width=\"2000\" height=\"2000\" class=\"img--noscript mntl-image mntl-image universal-image__image\" alt=\"A hand resting on a soft surface fingernails styled in a minimalist almondshaped manicure featuring a white French tip design\"><\/div>\n<\/div><figcaption id=\"mntl-figure-caption_1-0\" class=\"comp mntl-figure-caption text-utility-100 figure-article-caption\"><span class=\"figure-article-caption-owner\"><\/p>\n<p>@nailsbyzola \/ Instagram<\/p>\n<p><\/span><\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p id=\"mntl-sc-block_4-0\" class=\"comp mntl-sc-block beauty-sc-block-html mntl-sc-block-html\"> Let&#8217;s start with a modern classic French.
