20 Pink French Tip Nail Ideas to Inspire Your Next Manicure

Pink French tips are one of the more playful iterations. They turn the classic French on its head, topping off a nude or pale pink base color with a darker pink tip. Whether you’re still reliving Barbie summer or reaching for a pastel in hopes of ushering in spring, you’ll find plenty of inspiration ahead.

Cherry French

For an extra hit of sweetness, add playful cherry decals to a baby pink French manicure. Daisies and sparkles add additional whimsy.

Baby Pink

Like a traditional French, this look features a sheer nude base, but the usual white tip is swapped out for a hot pink one.

Valentine Swirl

Adding a bold red border to your pink French tip makes it that much more romantic, and making said tip winding and asymmetrical adds playfulness. Heart designs are the cherry on top.

Pink Gradient Ombré

A light pink base coat with a hot pink tip is a classic combination, but this look switches things up by making some tips ombré and others more defined.

Understated Ombré

Rather than creating a defined border, this understated ombré look blends pink and white shades seamlessly,

XL Mix-n-Match

Who says you have to pick one design? This mix and match set features checkerboard, aura, and heart designs with 3D embellishments, but is pulled together with the coordinating color scheme.

Cat Eye Accent

What better way to make an accent nail stand out than with a cat eye finish? The pink heart in the same shade as the pink French tip ties the look together.

Matte Magic

A muted matte texture helps tone down this neon pink manicure.

Half and Half

Why limit yourself to one shade of pink? This manicure splits the classic French tip in two, with one half baby pink and the other a hot pink

Hot Pink Ombré

A hot pink ombré tip is glamorous to begin with, but becomes all the more so with a layer of chrome over top.

Pink Daisies

A pink French tip look becomes all the more playful when you add in nails decorated with daises. Dotting the center of the flower in the same color as the pink tip ties the whole thing together.

Confetti Tips

An ombré pink tip becomes extra festive when topped with confetti-like glitter. This would make a perfect birthday manicure.

All That Glitters

If you’re the type to put on full flam just to go grocery shopping, this look will be right up your alley. A baby pink base is offset by a pink glitter tip. A classic oval nail is only fitting here.

Flower Power

A light pink base with a hot pink tip, plus accent nails with floral tips—it doesn’t get more sweet and feminine than that.

Sparkling

If glitter is your thing, don’t shy away from it. This full glitter look features a lighter pink base and hot pink glitter tip.

Roses Are Red

For an abstract take, alternate pink and red asymmetrical tips. It’s perfect for Valentines day, but wouldn’t look out of place any other time of year.

A Deconstructed French

This playful manicure is almost like a deconstructed French manicure. The white tip is turned on it’s side, while the base is half nude and half baby pink.

Pink on Pink

Switch up the classic French with a more opaque, salmon-hued base coat, topped off with a saturated, baby pink tip. A square nail offers an ode to the early aughts, when traditional French nails reigned supreme.

Gradient

A nude base coat is the perfect backdrop for a gradient look. It starts off with a soft and light pink tip on the pinky finger, with each subsequent finger featuring a slightly darker shade of pink.

Seeing Stars

To make your pink tip French manicure really shine, take a cue from the night sky and add some silver star accents.
