Kardashian’s French-tipped nails are exactly how you remember them: painted clear with a thin, straight white strip lining the tips of the nails. The way Kardashian’s nails are painted isn’t the only thing that makes her manicure choice so controversial.

Kim’s French-tipped nails are exactly how you remember them from nearly two decades ago: painted with a neutral beige shade and thin white tip. Her choice of polish isn’t the only thing that makes her manicure choice so unexpected. She also had her nails filed into a square shape — another nail trend that was left behind in favour of round and almond shapes.
Will french-tipped becomes a huge nail trend in 2019? Only time will tell.
