This Chic Nail Design Will Make Your French-Tip Manicure Look So Expensive

French-tip nails have grown in popularity over the past few months, and the trend shows no sign of slowing down this summer. There are lots of different ways to wear this chic design, from a classic white tip to pastel French tips and even red French tips. However, for those of you who really want to take your manicure up a notch, let me introduce you to chrome French tips.
Combining two of the biggest nail trends of the season, a chrome French tip manicure is one of the most elegant nail designs I have come across. Why do I love it so much, I hear you ask? Not only does it make your French tip manicure look so expensive, but it also adds a fun touch while still remaining relatively simple.
Believe it or not, this manicure is actually easy to recreate from home thanks to clever nail products such as chrome top coats and French tip nail pens. Below, I've rounded up some of my favourite chrome French tip nail designs alongside all of the products you could ever need to try the trend out for yourself. So, what are you waiting for? Keep on scrolling and get ready to have some serious nail envy...
