If your doing them yourself, then to make it easier, there should be a bit of nail coming over the meat of the finger. As then you can see where you need to apply the white tips for a french manicure.





But if you are going to a manicurist, then any length should be ok, as long as its not too short, as manicurist are trained in doing nails and should be able to deal with any length.

Actually they don't have to be any length. It will probably look nicest on medium length nails, but it depends on the shape of your nails too. The longer ur nails the shorter they can be. They paint the white bit on the end and pink on the rest so you won't see where the white on the real nail beneath begins.
I do my own manicures, and it always looks great, no matter what the length, but i'd say the best is medium length nails,
I just wait until my nail are a little bit off of the meat.


Like, I wait until they all have a whitish tip.
