These cat-eye French tips are subtle but stunning

Nail art is a creative way to introduce some fun and playfulness back to your makeup routine. Adding different colors, finishes and designs to your fingertips is undeniably cheering, but sometimes going all out with a wacky, vibrant nail choice just isn't right. For times where you need to look more subtle and understated, nail art options exist.

The French manicure is an absolute classic for a reason. By re-creating its basic design, you can enjoy a whole world of nail tip art that's far more subtle than covering the whole nail. This holographic, cat-eye, French tip manicure, which sits on a nude nail base, is completely out of this world.
