The french manicure has gone through many variations over the years. It all started with the classic '90s white tips [1], which slowly transformed into a modern, diffused take [2] created by blending the edge, resulting in an ombré effect. Recently, though, celebrities have experimented with more vibrant and even darker twists on the design [3] — like Priyanka Chopra, who chose the BAFTA Awards [4] to try out the latter with black tips.

This modern take on the french manicure — created by London-based nail artist Michelle Humphrey [5] — is extra long and features a deep arch [6] to accentuate the dark hue of the tips and give a big impact. The stylish nails matched Chopra's equally chic bubble braid, Pertegaz blazer, and stunning Bulgari jewels. [7]
