Cute yet Grown-Up: A Special Feature on Scalloped Nails That I Could Love Forever ♡

Simple Adult Art ♡

When it comes to stylish adult nail art, scalloped French is top of my list.

I have this image that all elegant and fashionable women repeat scalloped French nails all year round.

(Is that not true???)

Scalloped nails match perfectly with simple, monochrome outfits~~♡

They’re not overly elaborate but subtly stylish, making me think, “I admire people like this♡”.

In this article, I will introduce points to consider when getting scalloped nails, how to order them, and some arrangements ♩

First and foremost!!

There are some important considerations to keep in mind when ordering scalloped nails.

Scalloped nails come in different types, and you need to understand them well before making a request.

By the way, the term "scallop" in scalloped nails refers to a shape resembling frills made of connected semicircles...

The frills (scallops) need to be

✅ either 4 or 3 on one nail.

✅ how deep the V shape should be.

These aspects are very important.

For instance.

Here is a scalloped nail with four semicircle scallops on one nail.

And here is a scalloped nail with three semicircles.

Additionally, here is a "deep curve" scalloped nail.

This one features a "shallow curve" scalloped nail.

Whether to go deep or shallow, and how many scallops to have (3, 4, or more) are what determine the design of the scalloped French nails♩

Moreover, in arrangements, sometimes you can have a fluffy effect like this, but I think of it as a somewhat different genre, more often referred to as "fluffy French" or "puffy French".

What I learned from trying it out＊

I actually ordered scalloped nails at a nail salon♩

Since I preferred a shallow design with less color on the scallops, I communicated this,

✅ The base should be colored rather than clear, as it would hide the white tips.

✅ With a clear base, you would have to create deeper curves to cover the white parts.

✅ If the nail shape is pointed, the scalloped curve will naturally deepen, so a flatter nail shape might be better.

✅ Four scallops create a V-like appearance, while three might allow for a flatter style.

I learned all those important aspects from the nail technician, and I completely understood!

Now, let’s take a look at some images♩

From now on, I’ll pick out pictures of scalloped nails that I find cute♩
