Got a penchant for candy? Well, the licorice French nails might be for you.

But first, a reflection on the enduring classic, the French manicure: An understated but endlessly chic nail art option we’ll never tire of saying oui to. But of recent, there’s a noticeable uptick on twists on the classic, white-striped and pink nailed Frenchie style percolating on FYPs, Pinterest boards, and Instagram Explore pages. From colorful stripes to designs on the expanse of the nail, the simple base can offer variations according to current trends. And this new set? Meet the licorice French nails, which you’ll want to pin for your nail tech at your next appointment.

“The French manicure has really kind of picked up momentum this year,” nail artist Tom Bachik, who paints the nails of celebrities including Selena Gomez and Jennifer Lopez (an original ’00s Frenchie advocate, of course) told Vogue. Bachik himself has fostered a resurgence (for example, his American manicure), and speaks to the rise in fun and playful variations on the French manicure format. “The French manicure has evolved quite a bit,” nail artist Hang Nguyen also recently told Vogue. “We’ve seen colored tips, tone-on-tone variations, and textured designs become popular, giving this classic style a modern twist.”

Got a sweet tooth? Below, we get into the latest sleek and chic twist on the French: the licorice French nails.

What are Licorice French Nails?

There’s only one golden rule for the French manicure: You need to have the tip. This manicure is directly inspired by the snail-shaped licorice candy: The nostalgic sweets with their singular black and shiny hue. The slick of black for the French manicure offers a more modern, sexy variation. It can also feel a little grungy and bold, an emblem of the wearer’s strong personality. Think of it like the Little Black Dress of nail art: A simple and chic variation on a classic.
