Summer Color French Manicure: The Vitry Touch

The French manicure is no longer reserved for classic white. At Vitry, it reinvents itself every summer with colored free-edge shades and luminous bases—pink, pearly, golden nude—for nails that enhance your tan and summer lightness.

How to create a summer color French manicure at home?

The summer color French manicureis built in three steps with Vitry's Be Green nail polishes. First, a clear or slightly pink base to unify the surface and protect the nail. Then, a summer color applied to the free edge—coral, peach, lilac, sun yellow, or turquoise depending on your desires. Finally, the Be Green Base & Top Coat to seal and shine.

Vitry polishes' flat, precise brush makes it easy to draw the French smile, even without a stencil. For an even cleaner result, Vitry's Express Drying Dropsset the color in a few seconds and prevent any risk of smudging or crushing.

Which colors to choose for a successful summer French manicure?

Summer calls for light and luminous shades. On a nude or transparent base, coral and peach shades warm the complexion and perfectly match a golden tan. Lilac and sky blue add a fresh and graphic touch, ideal for evenings. Turquoise or sage green give a bolder effect, perfect for holidays.

For those who wish to stay in a more classic register, a free edge in Vitry red nail polish—Passion Red or Capucine Red—revisits the French with solar and assertive energy. Whatever the shade chosen, the Be Green formula ensures long-lasting wear and a color that does not fade in the sun.

How to maintain your French manicure all summer long?

A French manicure lasts longer on well-prepared nails. Vitry's nail care products—Pro'Expert 5-in-1 repairing treatment, whitening base, cuticle oil—strengthen your nails and optimize polish adhesion before any application.

For maintenance, reapplying a thin layer of Top Coat every two days prolongs the shine and wear of the color. To prevent chipping, it is best to apply polish to clean, dry nails, away from humidity—and touch up the free edge at the first sign of wear.
