The French manicure is the most-requested nail design of the last 50 years. The modern version is harder than it looks: a hairline white tip drawn confidently across a curved nail, with a base that flatters the skin underneath it. Printed press-ons can fake the tip but not the line work — the brush direction shows.

Our French tip collection runs across hairline French (the new 2026 line at one hair's width), classic full French, micro-French in non-white colors, and modern colored French. Every set hand-painted in our studio on premium soft-gel tips. Layered gel polish. UV-cured. Glass-finish top coat.

French tip sets ship with 10 hand-painted nails in your chosen size, a prep kit, and our 30-day return on unworn sets. Wear 2-4 weeks, reuse 5-10 times.

French tip is one of the most-painted styles in our handmade press-on nails studio — the line work is the proof of hand-painted craft.

Frequently Asked Questions

How can I tell hand-painted French from printed?

Look at the line consistency across all 10 nails under angled light. Hand painted French has slight variation — each finger painted individually. Printed French is perfectly identical across all 10, which is the tell.

Can I customize the French tip color?

Yes — see custom press-on nails. We paint French in any color you want.

What's the best French tip width for office wear?

Hairline French (1-1.5 mm) for the most polished, modern look. Classic full French (3-5 mm) for traditional bridal or special-occasion wear.
