5 of the Best French Tip Nail Trends to Try This Summer
1. Pastel French Tips
Want to add a subtle pop of colour to your manicure? Pastel French tips look so chic, and I love using a range of shades for a fun take on the trend.
These chevron-shaped French tips are so cool.

So, so chic.

3. Fruity French Tips
Fruit-themed nails are so fun for summer, and combining this nail art with a chic French tip really takes the trend up a notch. I’m in love with this cherry design as it will perfectly compliment the pops of red in my wardrobe.
I’m saving this design for my next holiday.

Stay Press’d – Watermelon
For something a bit easier, why not try press-on nails? I love this watermelon French tip design.
4. Micro French Tips
This is probably one of my favourite nail trends of the whole year, and it’s perfect for any minimalists out there. Micro French tip nails are essentially a much thinner version of your classic French tip manicure, and in my opinion they look so elegant.
To keep things as stylish as possible, opt for a really glossy finish.

The perfect brush to get an ultra-thin French tip.
