Frequently Asked Questions

What are matte French tip nails?

Matte French tips use a matte top coat (or matte gel) to remove shine, creating a velvety finish while keeping the French tip design.

Should the whole nail be matte or just the tips?

Either works. Full matte looks modern and sleek. Matte tips with a glossy base can create a subtle contrast that looks very “designer.”

Do matte nails get dirty faster?

Matte finishes can show oils or marks more easily than glossy. Keeping hands clean and applying cuticle oil away from the nail surface helps.

What colors look best in matte?

Black, deep tones, and nude bases look especially chic in matte. Matte also makes bright colors feel more modern.

Can I do matte French tips with chrome or glitter?

Yes, but the effect changes—matte can soften shimmer. Many people do a matte base with glossy or chrome tips for contrast.
