When spring hits, so do requests for aquatic and powder blue French tips; here are 7 looks we love

On the left is a close-up of a hand with square light blue French tip nails, created by nail tech and nail educator Fliss Alton/@gelsbyfliss and on the right is a close-up of a hand with micro blue French tips over a sheer pink base colour, created by nail artist Mateja Novakovic/@matejanova/ both featured in a grey and white template with two stock images of blue nail polish spills.

Whether you prefer minimal manicures or want a versatile design that still feels on-season, French tip nails are the ideal choice - and especially the blue variety, as we head towards spring/summer.

And with our focus now shifting to our spring nails (and after that, our summer manis), there's one hue, in particular, we think we'll be seeing a lot of.
