The Christmas adverts are on TV, mince pies are in the shops and the party invites are rolling on in for the coming weeks, which can only mean one thing: the party season is here, and it’s time to plan your party season manicure. The festive season has quickly come around again, and I’ve been planning my party makeup looks and party hairstyles to see me through a busy social calendar.
Next on my agenda is finding festive manicure ideas. Between this season’s trending nail colours and nail art (hello, burgundy nails and chrome French tips) I’ve had a hard time landing on just one design, but I’m 99% certain I’m going for party French tip nail design. I love a regular French mani, but in an effort to break out of my nail art comfort zone I’m toying with the idea of glitter French tips, a chrome French mani or even a cat eye design to bring a festive touch to my fingertips. Decisions, decisions.
I’ve been scrolling through my social feeds for the chicest party French tip nail designs and saved my favourites below. From the nail minimalists to the nail art lovers, there’s something for everyone below. Scroll ahead for the best party French tip nail idea I’ve saved.
