Perhaps the most enduring nail trend of all time, the French manicure remains a style adored by millions of women to this day. Originally created in 1975 by Jeff Pink, then CEO of Orly International, the French manicure was intended as a subtle alternative to the bold red shades that, while popular in Hollywood at the time, reportedly annoyed film directors due to the time it took to change them between scenes.
