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.
