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.

If royal blue is your thing, this design is right up your alley. While this mani is largely simple and traditional, the heart-shaped design on the pinky nail adds an interesting touch.

Blue French tips are anything but basic, but for a more chic, simple approach to the trend, go for an ombré effect. It’s giving 50 shades of…blue.

A Whole Blue World

These blue wave nails evoke The Little Mermaid vibes. While this ocean-inspired design may seem too complex to DIY, with @nuka.nails’ tutorial, you can easily bring these to life at home.

Starry Blue

These nails remind us of Van Gogh’s Starry Night painting. From the blue swirly sky to gold night sky accents, these nails are truly a work of art.

Midnight Blue

This midnight blue mani is moody and magical. Achieve the dark blue French tip using Holo Taco Polish ($15) in Twice In a Blue Moon. Give the look an extra dose of pizazz with silver nail stickers—like these from Lights Lacquer.

Molten Blues
