French ombre nails are a modern, creative take on the classic and traditional French manicure or French tips.

This design is easily recognizable, even to those who don’t know much about nail polish.

It has the standard look of white tips seamlessly and effortlessly blended into the rest of the nails, polished with a neutral or blush pink base.

But unlike the French tip, where there is a distinct separation between the white strip and the nail’s base color, French ombre nails have a gradient effect that achieves a softer look. It is topped with a coat of glitter and clear polish that finishes off this modern aesthetic.

If you want to try doing French ombre nails with glitter, read on—this is a style every girl should learn and maximize their creativity.
