As much as we love the classic French manicure (and the manicures that come with it), this season, it’s time to let your digits shine in all their colorful glory. The rainbow french tips manicure is a playful twist on the iconic manicure, swapping out the white tips for any shade of the ROYGBIV spectrum. We’ve spotted it on the nails of style influencers and nail artists alike, and it’s the ideal look for spring.

Black French Tip Nails

You can take your rainbow mani to the next level by using a variety of colors and shapes on each nail, or opt for a simple two-color design with alternating negative space stripes like this one from fashion influencer Camila Coelho. If you want a super cute cottagecore version, try applying a different color dried pressed flower to each nail for an on-brand look that also makes a great gift idea.

Another great way to amp up your rainbow frenchie is to create a double French manicure with swirly patterns on each nail. For a fresh-for-spring look, use pastel shades that speak to the season, like this mauve-toned version by fashion blogger Hang Nguyen. Mauve is having a moment right now, and this double French manicure with its floral patterns is a great way to wear it all season long.

If you’re looking to go all out with the rainbow French manicure, we suggest securing an appointment at a nail salon that specializes in acrylic or gel nails so your mani can do justice to this cool trend. Then, just sit back and enjoy all the compliments you’ll get on your vibrant digits.
