How long do French tip nails last?
French tip nails typically last 2-3 weeks depending on the application method. Gel French tips last longer (2-3 weeks), while regular polish may chip within a week. Acrylic French tips can last 2-4 weeks with proper maintenance and fills.
Can I try colored French tips?
Absolutely! While classic French tips feature white tips, our tool offers many colors including black, pink, red, blue, purple, gold, silver, and glitter options. Colored French tips are a modern twist on the classic style.
How do I ask for French tip nails at the salon?
Ask for “French tip nails” or a “French manicure,” then specify your base shade (sheer pink, nude, milky), shape (square, almond, coffin), length (short/medium/long), and tip thickness (micro/thin/medium/bold). Bringing a photo helps you match the smile line shape and overall vibe.
How do I do French tip nails at home?
Start with nail prep, apply a base color, then paint the tips using guides or a thin brush. Build the tip color in two thin coats, clean edges with a small brush, and seal with top coat—especially over the free edge to reduce chipping.
How much do French tip nails cost?
Pricing depends on your salon and service. A basic polish French manicure is usually the least expensive, while gel, acrylic, or extension sets cost more—especially with add-ons like chrome, ombre, nail art, or extra length.
