Trendy French Tip Nails Of 2021

As predicted, Indie nails are a big trend in the nail art world this year. Within that umbrella, Indie French Tip nails are particularly very popular this Spring/Summer. Especially with Gen Z.

So what exactly are Indie Nails?

A style of design that has been around in one form or another, but is finally gaining traction is the 'Indie' nail design. In this nail art style, each fingernail has a unique design or colour and no two fingers are alike; but it is all tied together with a colour story or pattern/ theme. The ombre trend from light to dark nails where each nail is a different colour, primary colours on individual nails, rainbows, etc. all fall under this category. You can even have a particular print in 10 different colours for this nail art. Quirky and fun, there is a nail art for everyone in this style.

Indie French Nails

In this subset, we have French Tip nails where the common basic white tip is replaced with different colours of the rainbow. It doesn’t even have to be the basic shape, it can be as varied and unique as you like. This trend is particularly great for furthering your creativity, as everything goes and the results are usually spectacular.

So without much further ado, let’s look at some of the best Indie French Tip Nails of 2021.
