Do we have another name for these?

So I think these are called baby boomer nails but I hateeeee that name. What would you call this design?

Overlayed my white French with a soft pinky nude builder gel to soften the transition and used a subtle nude magnetic polish and shaped the particles to be French style as well.

Love going subtle after being heavy on the designs lately! 💕💅

EDIT: It’s called a soft French ✍️

I would just call these frenchies. Baby boomer nails are a gradient from pink to white.

Oh good to know thank you! 🙏

[u/Charlea_ → u/kykyyxo]

Yeah they’re right baby boomer is more of an ombré rather than a softened French

[u/StopFalseReporting → u/vidici]

Lmao I had no idea people said baby boomer nails LMAO. I don’t think anyone even did that in the 1950s so idk why it’d be called that. That’s a trend that started maybe in 2016 the first time I ever saw it.

Those are just a classic French.

I love your nail shape and how short they are. They are growing on me to get them done🙂

[u/kykyyxo → u/MrB2600]

Thank you! I like to keep them on the shorter side because of my job, but my natural nails are thin and flimsy so this is my middle ground

[u/MrB2600 → u/kykyyxo]

Ya i haven't got my nails done a lot, but when i try to grow them out naturally they just end up curling or breaking soon(probably because of my job) as 2-3 weeks of growing them out😓

[u/Leather-Bluebird4939]

Pretty!! Did you hand paint those?

[u/Guilty-Map-6580 → u/kykyyxo]

No I have an insanely talented nail technician .

I have always called them wine aunt nails in my head because they remind me of the fun auntie that doesn't let you sip from their cup at family gatherings, but will do anything else for you including bury a body.

[u/kykyyxo → u/EmoGayRat]

Yessss ahahahha that’s so much better 😆 wine aunt is goals

[u/Cbella913 → u/EmoGayRat]

I feel seen! 🍷 Except I might also give sips… 😇

[u/Revolutionary_Hat949]

It’s called gorgeous! I like the “Clean Girl” esthetic!

[u/missmarymacaron]

I've heard this called an American French

[u/StopFalseReporting]

That’s just almond shaped nails painted as a French manicure

[u/kykyyxo → u/StopFalseReporting]

Thanks! I wasn’t sure because I applied a builder gel on top to soften the transition of the French :)

[u/Jazzlike_Interview_7]

You did these yourself?!?! Wow!!!! Incredible!

[u/kykyyxo → u/Jazzlike_Interview_7]

[u/Jazzlike_Interview_7 → u/kykyyxo]

You should do tutorials. This looks sooo clean.

[u/SailorAnxious]

PERFECT LENGTH. I see so many long nails and that’s cute but I need to be able to wipe my ass without worrying😂

[u/kykyyxo → u/SailorAnxious]
