What Are French Tip Press-On Nails?

French tip press-ons are pre-designed nail extensions that feature a clean white tip and natural base color. They're a staple in both everyday elegance and formal looks, and with soft gel technology, you can achieve a flawless, salon-worthy look at home.

Posh Me Nails offers full-coverage soft gel nail tips that are perfect for creating custom French manicures. Choose your base, paint the tip, and top it off for a DIY set that looks professionally done.

Best Nail Shapes for French Tips

Each shape gives the French tip a slightly different aesthetic, allowing you to tailor the look to your personal style.
