Adjusted nails extend your nail bed to make them appear wider and more slender. This is the ideal shape for a simple, clean, and moderate French tip nail set.
6. French tip almond nails
Much like round nails, almond nails extend your fingers and make them look more exquisite. The nail wall is tapered to end in a round top, similar to the shape of an almond. Natural nails are frequently too weak to hold this shape so most people go for acrylics.

How to do French tip nails at your home
If all this has inspired you to create your own set of classic Frenchies, we have you.
- Start by recording your nails into the shape and length you need. Apply a base coat to protect your nails and help the nail varnish adhere to your nails better.
- When the base coat is dry, apply a bare or pink clean to your whole nail and trust that this will dry completely.
- Then, use a white nail clean and apply it to the tip of your nail, following your regular shape – you can use a French tip pen or thin brush for this, or if you’re steady with your hands, you can try using the nail varnish brush itself. Any mistakes can be tidied up using a cotton swab dipped in nail varnish remover.
- Allow the white nail varnish to dry and apply a second coat if necessary. When this is dry, apply a top coat and trust that this will dry totally
That is all there is to it – go and grab those nail varnishes!
God bless you brother
