French manicures [2] were busy ruling not just the American Music Awards [3] red carpet over the weekend, but the Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences 13th Governors Awards on Nov. 19 as well.
Among other A-list stars, Ana de Armas attended the award show in Los Angeles with a satin-skin makeup look [4], a sleek updo [5], and a "baby" french manicure [6] in tow. This updated version of french tips is like its predecessor in every way but one: the "smile" line is much thinner. Instead of covering 1/3 or half of the nail, the lines on a baby french manicure sit at the very edge, making them the perfect nail-art [7] option for short nails [8].
De Armas kept her nails short and square [9], opting for a white tip and translucent pink shade for the base. Though baby french manicures can be a classic, minimalist nail, you can also add fun pops of color to the look. Elevated twists on the trend include chrome (an iteration de Armas has donned in the past [10]), glitter, and neon, so don't be afraid to mix it up. See de Armas's manicure up close below.
