French Tips, Short Medium Long, How To Size

Hello Friends!
I haven't been here lately because on April the 9th I had knee replacement surgery.  Wowser!  This is a journey for sure.  I have physical therapy coming in and slowly I am improving day by day!

What I would like to talk about today is French Tips!  If you love the look,  but have never tried them, I want you to know how to choose them.  Just because you have small nails, or short nails... it doesn't mean that you need "short French Tips"!

Take a look at the pictures to the left side of the page.  Notice the difference between the Natural Nail picture and the Short Tip.  The short size is ALL about having the tip come down low on your nails.  It is NOT about having short nails, it is about your preferences on the tip location.

Most people wear a medium tip, but my "TIP" for you is that if you purchase the LONG French Tip you will have more natural nail to work with.  You can always cut off the cuticle end and trim!  It is better to have extra to trim than not enough and be disappointed that your tip is lower than you prefer.

If you do purchase the long tips, you can use the tape method to size your nails and get your perfect fit! I have this video on another Blog Page but hey those of you that are in a hurry, I feel ya!



To get a better idea on how low the tip would be on your finger take a look at this diagram using a dime.

By looking where the short tip hits the dime.. now take that dime and compare that location to your finger tips.  Put the dime right at the cuticle.  How awesome is this?

No more guessing at French Tips!

Did you know that all French tips are not white at the end?  Some even have patterns.  Take a look at these options from Jamberry.

I really love the French Tip Bows on this chart.  The Gone Dancing is simply gorgeous in person!  I would have never characterized this wrap as a French Tip before, but girl I don't care what they call it, the BLING is for me!!

I also wanted to add that in the French Tips, the bottom (on the cuticle end) are clear of course.  Some love to also get creative and layer these over their favorite wraps!  Whether you want to be creative or traditional, why not try out French Tips today?  You can get a better look at French Tips and also order here.
