In the ever-evolving world of nail art, the classic French manicure has stood the test of time. Among its many variations, the blue French tip has emerged as a subtle yet cool choice for those of us who like to mix it up a bit without being too ‘out there’.
From creamy blueberry milk manis to bold double French tips, A-listers like Kate Hudson and Megan Thee Stallion have been wearing this colour, so you’ll be bang on trend with this shade.
Whether you prefer to keep your nails short and neat, love glam acrylics, you’re using BIAB to strengthen your talons, or you love your gels, we’ve got a true blue mani for you.
