French tip nails are possibly one of the most stylish nail designs out there right now. It might be simple, but a classic white French tip can make your manicure look so polished. I've been wearing this trend a lot over the past few months, and I always get compliments on how chic my nails look. However, as we head further into autumn (and further towards winter) I've been keen to switch up my French mani slightly, and I think I've just found the coolest way to wear the trend this season. Say hello to a reverse French tip...
What Is a Reverse French Tip?
If you're not familiar with this manicure trend, let me fill you in on everything you need to know. A reverse French tip is nothing new, but it is rising in popularity thanks to the elegant yet understated design. As the name suggests, it is the reverse of a classic French mani, and involves drawing a line on the nail bed rather than the tip of the nail. The result? A super chic, minimal finish that is bound to turn heads.
The best bit about this trend is that you can have lots of fun with colours and textures depending on your desired look. As you'll see below, you can opt for colourful polishes, glittery polishes, and you can even paint a reverse French tip over another nail colour for a statement finish. So, if you're interested in giving this nail trend a go, keep on scrolling for lots of inspo to take to the salon...
