White French Tips Are Classic, But This Pretty Colour Looks Just as Elegant for Spring

Despite ever-evolving nail trends and nail art fads, the classic white French-tip manicure has proven to be a style that will never date.

Simple, chic and effortlessly elegant, it's no surprise that this pared-back design has managed to stand the test of time. However, when it comes to spring 2025 nail looks, I've noticed a fresh twist on the classic French-tip design that's equally as elegant but will also add a nice point of difference to new-season manis. Enter the sky-blue French-tip nail trend.

Opting for a sky-blue colour is a great way to elevate your spring French-tip manicures. However, the versatile shade is also ideal for those of us who usually prefer a more minimalist nail look by offering a much softer contrast against the neutral base colour than starker white tips. As someone who tends to opt for very plain and sophisticated nail designs, I'm unlikely to paint sky-blue all over my nails, but there's something about the shade used as a more refined accent at the top of the nail that looks extremely expensive.

And the best part is that you can go for any shade of blue you want. Much like how the sky showcases multiple shades of blue, you can choose from the iciest and palest hues all the way to bolder royal blues if you prefer to make a statement.
