One variation of the classic French manicure is a reverse French manicure. The difference is that there are white and black French nail tips, rather than just the strip of white on the top.

Use black nail polish to add a thin, black line just underneath the white tips.
Striped

Create stripes on French nail tips using white and black nail polish. Start by doing a French manicure on the nails, complete with pink nail beds and white tips. On the white tips only, using black nail polish, paint thin stripes. Make sure that the width between the stripes is the same on all of the nails.
