French tips are a classic nail design—the nude base and crisp white tips are a perfect pairing. However, that doesn’t mean you can’t take your own creative liberties and make the traditional manicure your own. These days, it’s common to swap out the typical white tip for unexpected colors. And lately, we’ve been spotting tons of blue French tips all over our feed. Ahead, take a look at some of our favorite blue French tip nail designs.

If royal blue is your thing, this design is right up your alley. While this mani is largely simple and traditional, the heart-shaped design on the pinky nail adds an interesting touch.

All The Blues

@amyle.nails

Blue French tips are anything but basic, but for a more chic, simple approach to the trend, go for an ombré effect. It’s giving 50 shades of…blue.
