The classic French tip was long due for an upgrade. Here are all the updated French manicures to try in 2020, from tie-dye tips to bold animal prints.

French manicures have long been considered both an absolute&nbsp;favourite as well as tacky and old-fashioned, but worry not,&nbsp;these aren&rsquo;t the same manicures you remember from the aughts. Incorporating up-to-date trends, from tie-dye and emojis to fiery flames and cow prints,&nbsp;these modern updates to the classic nail trend go far beyond the usual white tip.

A French manicure looks great on everything from long talons to short natural nails, and whatever your nail length preference, you&rsquo;ll surely be able to incorporate these iconic looks&nbsp;into your life. Try&nbsp;out these updated looks&nbsp;from the comfort of your own home.

Emojis

It&rsquo;s often easier to get your point across through emojis than through words. Try expressing yourself through these adorably-adorned&nbsp;nails.

&nbsp;

Tie-Dye Tips

This major summer look has shown up on everything from clothing and bags to shoes and hair accessories, and nails are no exception.

&nbsp;

Yin and Yang&nbsp;

An up-and-coming trend, the yin and yang symbol is a simple way to switch up your mundane French manicure.

&nbsp;

Micro French&nbsp;

This one&#39;s for the minimalists. As seen on the Khaite runway,&nbsp;this extremely thin-tipped French manicure strays just enough from the beloved original to become a fresh take.

&nbsp;

Flames&nbsp;

Once worn by Kylie Jenner,&nbsp;these fiery nail accents add some serious spice to your basic French manicure.

&nbsp;

Tortoiseshell

Step it up in a classy way with a tortoiseshell print. The neutral tones will go with practically everything in your wardrobe.

&nbsp;

Cherry Cute&nbsp;

Cherries, a very fashionable fruit, make for sweet nail accents. Neon pink tips pair perfectly with the tiny cherry details.

&nbsp;

&#39;70s Vibes

Transition into fall with these&nbsp;psychedelic French tips in warm tones.

&nbsp;

Mooo!

Mooo-ve over cheetah and zebra print, cow print is the next big trend. While black and white is the more traditional colourway, nail artists have also done cow print variations in pink, brown&nbsp;and white.

&nbsp;

Ombr&eacute; Tie-Dye

A fun neon twist on a French manicure. These rainbow frenchies are a subtle way to deviate from the norm.

&nbsp;

Smile!

If you&rsquo;re hesitant to fully step out of your French manicure comfort zone, why not try doing one fun nail on each hand? These happy and sad faces are a great transition into the world of nail art.
