Pastel Rainbow Nails

Pastel rainbow nails just got a precision upgrade — the XCOATTIPS® French Brighter Pastel collection delivers every shade of the soft rainbow spectrum as ready-to-apply French tip nail tips, designed to pair with your favourite base sets for a two-week pastel rainbow manicure.

Whether you're building a skittle mani with a different Brighter Pastel hue per nail, or going all-over pastel with a French tip gradient, this collection has the shapes, lengths, and colour range to make it press-and-go.

What Is the XCOATTIPS® French Brighter Pastel Collection?

The XCOATTIPS® French Brighter Pastel collection is a range of soft gel French tip nail tips engineered in seven brighter-than-average pastel rainbow tones — think baby pink, sky blue, mint green, lavender, pale yellow, peach, and a clean white tip base. Each tip is pre-painted with a French manicure finish, so you simply apply them over your chosen base colour to build a complete pastel rainbow French tip manicure at home.

The collection covers four distinct silhouettes: Short Square, Extra Short Square, Short Almond, and Long Square. This variety means you can match the nail shape to your personal style and lifestyle — from a low-maintenance everyday Extra Short Square to a more dramatic Long Square for special occasions.

XCOATTIPS® are soft gel tips designed to be applied with adhesive tabs or nail glue over your natural nail or a base set, and removed without damage to your natural nail plate when done correctly.

How to Build a Pastel Rainbow Manicure with XCOATTIPS® French Tips

The XCOATTIPS® French Brighter Pastel tips are designed as finishing tips — they layer over a base colour on your natural nail to create a complete French manicure look. Here's how to build a pastel rainbow manicure with them:

1. Choose your base colour. A clear, nude, milky, or sheer base lets the pastel French tip gradient show at its best. The whiter the tip transition, the crisper the French manicure effect. You can also use a solid pastel shade as your base — just keep it lighter than the tip colour to maintain the gradient contrast.
2. Size each tip before applying. Lay out all ten XCOATTIPS® French tips against your natural nails dry first. Each tip should cover your nail plate fully from sidewall to sidewall without overlapping the skin. Light edge-filing can adjust a tip that runs slightly wide.
3. Apply adhesive tabs or nail glue. Adhesive tabs offer gentler removal and are ideal if you swap designs frequently. Nail glue gives stronger adhesion and longer wear — up to two weeks with correct prep. Apply only to the nail plate, not the skin.
4. Press firmly for 30–60 seconds. Apply each XCOATTIPS® tip at a slight angle from the cuticle, then press flat from base to tip. The pressure ensures even adhesive contact across the full surface.
5. Apply a clear top coat for extra longevity. Seal the tips and base together with a thin layer of clear top coat over the entire nail, including the tip edge. This significantly extends chip-free wear.

For removal, soak fingertips in warm soapy water for 3–5 minutes or hold an acetone-free pad against the nail edge to soften the adhesive, then rock the tip gently from side to side. Never peel from the tip. Apply cuticle oil after each removal.

XCOATTIPS® French Brighter Pastel vs. Standard Pastel French Tips

The key difference between the Brighter Pastel range and standard pastel French tip nails is the saturation level. Brighter Pastel tips are formulated with more pigment mixed into the soft gel, giving them a colour depth that reads more vivid under indoor lighting and photography while still maintaining the soft, wearable quality that makes pastel universally flattering.
