No 1: Turquoise French manicure tips.
Since French manicure is a classic all-time favorite choice for making your nails looking nice and polished, you could spice things up a little bit by using a turquoise shade instead if white as your tip color. The process is the same just like with any French manicure: you simply paint your nail with a semi-transparent base color such as a light nude shade, let it dry and then apply to the tips of your nails the color of your choice.
A tip to make the process easier when painting the French tips is to make a thin small curve first and then paint the nail tip with the rest of the color. You can also use special nail stickers for French manicure to get the perfect angle for each nail.
In this case, you simply stick the user line underneath the French tip area (usually under the third part on your nail), paint the upper nail tip with the French tip color, wait for it to dry and then peep off.
Finish off with a stroke of top clear top coat and your turquoise French manicure is all set.
No 2: Dotted flowers on white, pink, or supplemental colors.

If you are going to use a turquoise shade as your base color, the best shades that will complement it and create an ideal contrast are white, yellow, pink, purple, red, orange, silver and gold. Blue and lights greens can also be used but they won’t create any interesting contrast with your turquoise base color as they belong on the same color family.
A simple way to draw flowers to your solid turquoise nails is to use a nail dotting tool which is very cheap and easy to find online or a toothpick. Start making a flower by making a small dot in the center of your design and then make 5-6 small dots around it to form a flower.
