This Double Crescent Nail Trend Is Taking Over Instagram
Just when you thought the classic French mani was on the outs, Instagram went ahead and brought this oldie-but-goodie back to life. We’re talking French manicures, which have gotten a hot new look by doubling down on details that are both edgy and sweet. Double French manicures, AKA double crescent nails, are the yin to the mega Frenchie’s yang, and we absolutely love it. They’re basically a regular French mani with an added cuticle French — trés chic! You can mix and match with different colors or keep it simple in all one hue. Either way, this is a design you’ll want to bring to your next salon appointment. We promise.
1. All Blue Everything: When your digits need some lovin’, this mani will do the trick. Grab your favorite shades of blue and a couple of round stickers to recreate this gorgeous design at home. Accent one nail with geometric design touches for added intrigue.

2. Double French: Why go for one French mani when you can double it up? Complement your lighter base hue with an edgy color that’s equal parts chic and sassy.

3. Metallic: No need to hide your digits when they look this good. Opt for a bare base to let your double crescent mani really stand out.
4. Monochromatic: Give your nails a mod makeover by copying this groovy design. Add a few silver balls for a futuristic vibe that’s funky and gorgeous.
