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.

This set has the cutest selection of pastel shades.
A great press-on option.
2. Chrome French Tips
Chrome nails and French tip nails are two of the biggest trends this season, so why not go for both? The perfect manicure for a special occasion this summer.
So, so chic.
Get the look:
For an easy at-home chrome French tip, use a nail pen like this one to draw on your tip, then go in with a chrome top coat.
Speaking of chrome top coats, I always opt for this one from Nails Inc.
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.
Get the look:
If you want to try and create a fruity design yourself, opt for a thin nail art brush like this one from Manucurist.
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.
Or try a thin nail pen like this one.
5. Neon French Tips
If you prefer a statement finish, you can't go wrong with a neon French tip. This yellow shade just screams summer to me.
Green nails are also set to be big this season.
Get the look:
So fun.
All the neon nail polishes you need.
