Supermodel Ashley Graham recently spent two quick days in India, and it appears that the mom of three had an incredible time. While Graham was in the South Asian country for work—she modeled an absolutely stunning saree during a runway show at the opening of Jio World Plaza—her recent Instagram post depicted a fun-filled 48-hour excursion.
The 36-year-old shared an Instagram post of her travels on Nov. 3, which featured plenty of tasty food, local culture and sightseeing. Among the photos she provided, we couldn’t help but notice that Graham happened to be sporting a French manicure in one of the slides, which begs the question: is the iconic style making a comeback?
In one of the slides, Graham made funny faces for the camera and held one hand up in the typical “rock on” gesture, which showed off her delicate, almond-shaped manicure.
While many of us tend to reach for darker nail colors throughout the fall, the 2016 SI Swimsuit Issue cover star made a great case for bringing back a classic, feminine manicure, regardless of season. With the holidays coming up, you might feel inclined to shift your beauty routine a bit. If that’s the case, and you’re not into the bold red shades and lots of sparkle typical of the weeks to come, below are two of our favorite French manicure inspos to bring along with you to your next salon appointment.
Classic French vanilla nails
Hailey Bieber’s go-to manicurist Zola Ganzorigt has proved time and time again that French manicures will always be in style. Kylie Jenner and Adele are also clients who enjoy the classy style.
“Blizzard” French manicure
Coined by nail artist Tom Bachik, the “blizzard” manicure is a fun, snow-inspired take on the typical French manicure that’s perfect for winter. Nicola Peltz Beckham, Selena Gomez and Jennifer Lopez are just a few of Bachik’s celebrity clientele.
