Changing the finish is the quickest way to update a classic manicure, and metallic French tips are the best example of this. This higher version replaces the classic white edge with bright strokes of gold, silver, and deep jewel tones that catch the light with every move. The end result is modern, polished, and definitely catches the eye. Metallic or glitter polish can make things look shiny, but the look really shines when you use cat-eye or chrome finishes with it. Today’s cat-eye formulas are smoother and more polished than older ones. They make the tips look like gemstones, while chrome gives them a bold, luxurious edge. In addition to silver and gold, look for colours like berry, copper, olive, and soft pink to add a romantic touch to this trend. Here are 12 new ideas for metallic French tip nails that will get you thinking about your next molten-metal manicure.
Gleam of Silver
If you change a traditional white ombré French tip to a silver ombré, the look instantly becomes more modern. A sheer veil of chrome softly blends into a glossy nude base for a sleek, modern look.
Latte Cat-Eye
A warm latte-toned cat-eye tip makes you look like you have a lot of money. This colour looks clean, classic, and effortlessly chic when paired with a perfectly filed square nail shape.
Purple and Bronze
This eye-catching design has bronze chrome outlines that frame glowing plum-toned cat-eye tips. Bronze not only feels very elegant, but it also goes well with both gold and silver jewellery.
Gold-trimmed
The gold chrome edges look like delicate stacked rings, giving the impression of an accessory. Use white and blush colours to keep the base soft and classic. This will make the metallic edges stand out.
Glitter in the Dark
A light dusting of fine holographic silver glitter gives black French tips a fun twist. The subtle sparkle looks great with rich winter fabrics like wool, leather, and velvet.
Lines of Chrome Smile
Tangerine and lilac aura nails give you a burst of energy in the early spring, especially when you seal them with a thin layer of chrome. The thin gold smile lines give the look more shape without making it too heavy.
24-Karat
Gold French tips stand out right away against a soft pink base. For the most intense look, put gold chrome over a black base. You could also choose a colour with hints of green reflection to add depth.
Different Metals
Adding metals to a manicure makes it look more elegant right away. This design has a blush cat-eye base with French tips and abstract shapes on top. The tips and shapes are in both gold and silver chrome.
Light Pink
When you put soft pink cat-eye tips on almond-shaped nails with flowing gold chrome lines, you get a romantic, dreamy look. Changing the gold to silver makes the design feel cooler and more icy.
Cat-Eye Persimmon
These short nails are inspired by the bright orange persimmon fruit that grows in the winter. They have a pinky-nude base and juicy orange cat-eye tips on top. They are subtle, seasonal, and pleasantly surprising.
