Microfrench and Pearl Shine — Princess Diana's Classic Manicure Is Back in Style

The classic French manicure favoured by Princess Diana in the 1990s is back as the top trend in nail salons in summer 2026. Updated versions include "microfrench" — with an ultra-thin white tip — and styles with a pearlescent finish, all reflecting the "your nails but better" minimalist philosophy. The look suits both formal and everyday outfits, just as it did for Diana.
