French tip

White-edged nail look

French tip refers to a style of manicure where the nail tip is painted white or pale pink while the nail bed remains natural or nude-colored.

The look mimics the natural appearance of healthy nails with clean, defined tips: She asked for French tips at the salon.

The style extends to pedicures and acrylic or gel nails.
