19 Black French Tip Nail Designs That Are Equal Parts Edgy and Elegant

A person wearing a black manicure with mixed designs.

I'll admit it: the only time I ever have a hard time making decisions is when I'm trying to decide on a nail design—it's for that reason that the French manicure has always been one of my go-tos. It's simple, elegant, and looks put together even when my nails are a little grown out. The other great thing about the French manicure, though, is that there are tons of ways to customize it, like opting for black nail polish on the tips instead of the traditional white.

Black French tips are a great way to add a moody, edgy twist to an otherwise simple French manicure, but of course, there's not just one way to wear them, and they can be as minimal or as extreme as you want them to be. You also don't have to limit yourself to dark colors and designs in the fall and winter, as there are plenty that work year-round.
