12 Black French Tip Nails to Fall in Love With - L’Oréal Paris (2024)

4. Almond Black French Tips With a White Base

Black and white make for the chicest color story so why not use the two shades for your French manicure? Opt for a milky white base and add a thin French design at the tip of your nails in glossy black or glittery black.

5. Black Glitter French Tips

If you want your manicure to feel extra glam, a little glitter never hurts. A glittery black French design pairs perfectly with this long, square nail shape.

6. Micro French Tips in Black

As the name suggests, micro French is a tiny line of color at the tip of your nail. It’s a trendy and minimal version of the classic French manicure, and it looks good on short nails. Plus, it does wonders to conceal grow out because of the nail polish placement.

7. Inky French Florals

Lighten up your black French tip nail art with white daisies and rhinestones. The juxtaposition of the thick black tips and the airy white design really pops.

8. Almond-Shaped Double Black French Tips

The rounded shape of almond nails creates an ideal canvas for creative French tips. Instead of one black arch, add two; a thick one and a thinner one to create a sleek, negative space design.

9. French Tips and Gold Half Moons

This regal black and gold design includes black French tips and gold, glittery half-moons. The result is a bit minimal while still packing glam and versatility. Whether you rock this design on long nail extensions or short natural nails, it’s bound to bring compliments.

10. Negative Space French Tips

Use black nail polish and a thin brush to create the outline of a French arch on your nail, but don’t fill in the center part. If black nail polish feels daunting, this is a great way to test it out in a more subtle way.

11. Starry French Tips

Draw stars on your black Frenchies for a gothic and ethereal design that looks like a modern version of galaxy nails. Adding a few rhinestones never hurts, either.

12. Matte Black French Tip Swirls

French tips and swirly nail art are such an underrated couple. Give this nail design a modern twist with a matte top coat and a nail extension for some added length.
