35 of the best almond French tip nail designs
1. Ombre almond French tip nails
Ombre Frenchies don’t have to be white and nude! I *love* this ice cream-coloured set. Soft yet still eye-catching, this is a great spring or holiday look.

2. White French tip almond nails
An absolute classic. You can’t go wring with a white French tip and the almond nail shape here gives this design an elegant, modern vibe.

3. Milky almond French tip nails
This design has been EVERYWHERE this year thanks to Hailey Bieber’s milky mani obsession. Better still, this subtle look is pretty forgiving if you make a mistake so may be one the best designs for anyone hoping to skip the salon but whose nail skills aren’t the best.
