13 Glitter French Nail Designs
1. Glitter Gradient Tips

Polish is Bold (base) and After Party (pink glitter) by@ellamila
This one reminds me of bubbles rising in a flute of champagne. Feels like a special occasion! Paint the glitter polish thicker at the tip of your nail and do less as you move toward the cuticle. You can use a solid glitter, like a silver or gold glitter, or whatever color you love.
2. Green Glitter Tips

For maximum glitter, you’ve gotta try reflective fingernails. The glitter in the polish reflects super bright when a light is shone on it, giving it more of a wow factor than regular glitter nail polish. I love the way these long nails look — you really get some bang for your glitter buck!
3. Black French Tip

These glitter French tip nail designs would be great for Halloween, or just to wear with your little black dress! The black French tips give it a bit of an edge, but the pearl at the base of the nail ups the level of sophistication.
4. Blue Glitter Tip Nails

This glittery mani gives major winter wonderland vibes and is perfect for a special occasion or for the holiday season. The ombre glitter is a great option whether you’re an expert or a beginner at doing nails. You don’t need a steady hand because you don’t need to worry about a perfectly straight line of the classic French manicure design.
5. Subculture French Tips

I love a glitter polish that provides really good coverage and an amazing shine. This silver holographic polish (Subculture from Cirque Colors) gives a prismatic rainbow effect under direct light.
6. Silver Sparkles

If painting the tips isn’t enough sparkle for you, outline manicures are an easy way to take your French manicure up a notch. This works best with a reflective polish or at the very least, a glitter polish with good solid coverage. The negative space really draws the eye, making this a fun overall look.
7. Glitter Gold Tips

Silver isn’t the only glitter option out there! Go with a gold, rose gold or bronze for the same sparkle that just hits a little different. Make the glitter accent stand out from the base coat even more with a thin white line between the two.
8. French Tip with Silver Glitter
Short nails girlies don’t need to miss out on French tips — and you don’t need to paint half of your fingernail to get the effect. This glitter manicure is subtle with glittery silver lines at the tip. It’s a fun way to mix up a classic look!
Colors fromOlive and June: two coats CCT plus one coat BEB with Exclamation Point
9. Butterfly Tips

You don’t have to follow the straight lines of the French tip classic style. These wavy glitter designs on the tips of the nails go perfectly with the floaty butterfly stickers. Use all your favorite different colors of glitter polish for a colorful spring or summertime look (or really any time of year!).

10. Gold Winter Tips

This is such a simple but gorgeous look for the holiday season. Let the gold glittery tips dry and then add little holly berries on some or all of the nail tips. Use nail tools, a nail art pen or even toothpicks.
