Give your mani a seasonal makeover with these spring-inspired french tip nails

How To Paint French Nails
To recap: French tips are one of the most recognisable manicure designs of the last 100 years, comprised of a white tip on a nude or pinkish base. You can easily ask for the look in the salon (simply request a set of spring French tip nails, or prepare some inspiration images on your phone), but the process is also pretty easy to recreate at home.
To get the look, follow the below steps:
- Prepare Your Nails: Clean, shape, and buff them. Apply a clear base coat.
- Apply Base Colour: Paint a sheer pink or beige polish over the entire nail. Cure if using gel.
- Paint the Tip: Place a guide shield and paint white polish over the tip area, or go freehand and use a thin brush to paint the tip, creating a curved line.
- Clean Up: Use a cotton swab with remover to clean excess polish.
- Finish: Apply a clear top coat.
