What are French tip gel nails?
They’re French tips done with gel polish on natural nails or gel extensions. Gel cures under a lamp and typically stays glossy and chip-resistant for 2–3 weeks.
Is gel better than acrylic for French tips?
Gel feels lighter and more flexible, while acrylic is sturdier for long length and major reshaping. The best choice depends on your nail strength and desired length.
Can gel French tips be done on short nails?
Yes. Short gel French tips with a micro line are one of the most wearable, low-maintenance options (see short French tips for styling).
How long do gel French tips last?
Most gel manicures last about 2–3 weeks before lifting or noticeable growth, depending on your routine and nail growth.
Do gel French tips damage nails?
Damage usually comes from picking or improper removal. Soak-off and gentle techniques help keep natural nails healthy.
