Using the classic French manicure design, blue French tips add a surprising element that can make you stand out without anything too flashy or distracting.
Blue can be an edgy color for nails, especially dark blue, but by using it on the tips only it remains classy and elegant.
The idea for this look is to keep the nail a neutral or even natural color with nude or clear polish, which allows the tips to shine. The longer your nails, the bolder the look.
Play with texture and opalescent finishes to add some visual interest, or keep the tips shiny and glossy for a more traditional appearance.
You can even add some flair with small white studs or flower decorations. This can add a little something seasonal to your nails.
Because this look plays with a traditional style, think about shape. French nails usually use the squared-off tips, and this shape maximizes the surface area that can be painted.
However, if you go with a rounded or, even more distinctive, a pointed shape, your blue tips will have that “wow” factor that is hard to deny.
The unique shape combined with the unexpected color can really make an impression.
Another detail you can add to this look is a silver or white line of demarcation between the blue tips and the neutral color on the rest of the nail.
This subtle border keeps your nails looking tidy and more polished. This line can also be an ideal place to play with some subtle texture, since a glitter polish could add a tiny bit of glamour to this look. Don’t be afraid to rock blue French tip nails!
