Appearance-wise, there isn't any big difference. A french manicure is acheived with clear and opaque white polish painted on top of your real nail. French tips (aka ';Soler nails'; or ';Pink and white';) refer to the color of acrylic that's used. The fake plastic nail is glued to your real nail, a light pink layer of acrylic is apllied to the nail bed area and opaque white acrylic is applied to the tips. The advantage of this is to have the french look permanantly without the hassle of chipping like polish does.French Manicures and the spa?

I think they are the same... not sure though
freanch tips is when your tips are dome with white line
TO ME IT ALL SOUNDS SO GIRLY
Tips are usually plastic with an acrylic overlay, and of course the french manicure is when your regular nails are manicured and then finished with the french (white line at tip). Both look good, however it depends on how long you wish to keep your nails in this style. If you are just getting them done, but don't wish to be bothered with the long term fill ins etc that accompany acrylic i would suggest you go ahead with the basic french manicure. However, if you want to keep the french look long term, i would either go for the tips which are the nail extentions, or an acrylic overlay which goes over your real nails but allows for the varnish to stay on longer usually without much chipping. Long story short, as i mentioned before both turn out well, but it really depends on your level of commitment.
french tips are fake a french manicure could be fake or it could be ur own nails.
well there really is no difference. I went and got a french manicure and mine look really pretty. and if your going 2 get your nails done soon, i would get them painted orange and black for Halloween or some other thing for Halloween or get something to go with every season. good luck!
