French tip nails
The French tip is the most asked-for set in this list, and it is not one style. The line can be a hairline or a centimetre, white or wine or chrome, straight across or cut on a diagonal. Twenty-four of them below.
Design ideas: these are generated references for a style. None of them shows a KuQueen session, and we do not publish a client’s nails without asking her first.
A French tip suits a short nail as well as a long one, which is why it survives every trend. On a short squoval the line reads as tidy. On a long coffin it reads as deliberate.
The tip is painted, not a sticker, so the color is yours to choose. The sets below use white, black, pink, wine, teal, gold, silver glitter and chrome, and any of them can be done in a color that is not here.
All of these can be done on your own nails or on extensions. If you are having extensions, the shape is chosen first and the tip follows it, which the shape guide goes through in more detail.
