What are Double French Tip Nails

The double French tip nails can be as simple as creating the regular French smile line and adding a thin-sized striper line directly behind it.

You can keep it cute and use the same color as the original and leave a little gap between the second white line and the first. 

Or change it up and use a different color, like hot pink or black. Using White for the original French smile, then using black to create a second smile line touching the white one. This will create a dynamic, eye-catching look.

We are really loving how elegant this can be made to look, especially with a deep double smile line or the negative space effect you can make by using a nude base color and a striper dipped in any color of your choice to outline where the French smile lines would be and voila, you have

A double French tip nails that will stand out in any nail art lineup.

How To Do Double French Tip Nails at Home

Is it possible for you to get this look at home? Absolutely. Keep reading for how you can do your own double French tip nails.

Before anything else, you will want to give yourself a manicure. This includes pushing the cuticles back and cutting whatever is sticking up around the cuticles.

You will then cut and shape your nails to your desired length. In this step, it is best if you file your natural nails in one direction instead of back and forth.

Next, you want to buff the nails lightly to smooth out any bumps or ridges and remove any leftover cuticle debris.

Clean off the nail bed with acetone or alcohol to prep the nail for your base coat.

Now it’s time to get to the fun art part. Use white to paint the tip(free edge) of your nail. The easiest way to achieve the smile line is to lightly paint the brush from one side diagonal to the free edge. Repeat this on the other side. 

This will not look perfect, but that is ok because, at this point, you can take a clean-up brush, wet it with acetone, and lightly trace a clean and even smile line.

**The trick to creating the perfect smile line is to let the white polish dry a little so you can easily make the smile line without dragging wet polish all over the base of your nail.

After creating the perfect smile line, you will want to take a striper brush, dip it in the same white polish, leave a little space for the base color to show, and draw the line to mirror your French curve.

Voila! You have the perfect double French tip nails.

We have gone over what double French design is, shown you how many different ways you can rock this look, and we have broken down how you can get this look at home.

Now all you have to do is figure out how to show off your nails as much as possible. Enjoy!
