Why is ‘sky blue French tip 1.50’ trending on TikTok & whether you should be worried if YOUR boyfriend says it
ONE of the latest trends on TikTok was designed to make girls question the faithfulness of their partners.
What does it mean if your boyfriend tells you to get “sky blue French tips 1.50” at the nail salon – and is it a sign he’s cheating?
New trends are popping up on TikTok all the time, and the latest one comes down to what your boyfriend might say before you get your nails done.
Several videos have advised men to tell their girlfriends to get “sky blue French tip 1.50” at the salon – sky blue being the color, French tip being the style, and 1.5 inches being the length.
TikTokers suggest that if a boyfriend gives his girlfriend such a specific nail art request, it must mean he’s cheating on her.
How else would a guy be so informed about the details of nail art, after all?

Guys typically don’t know much about what happens when a woman gets her nails done.
If your boyfriend suddenly knows details about nail art and styles, some TikTokers suggest, it might mean he’s learning that information from another woman.
But it’s not women warning other women to be wary of their men saying this – it’s men encouraging other men to do it.
The purpose of this trend is to prank girls into overthinking where their boyfriend possibly learned feminine information from.

One viral video from a user named Harvey Silver comes with a caption that describes his use of the trend.
The text block on his clip says: “She asked me what color nails she should get, so I told her ‘French tip sky blue 1.5.’ Now I’m blocked.”
Another viral video from a TikToker named Jing Lifts has a similar message.
“Next time she asked for a nail color, say ‘sky blue French tip 1.50’ and wait for a reaction,” Jing’s text block says.
Not everyone is so convinced that this type of prank would throw a girl off, though.
One woman commented: “As a nail tech, we don’t use 1.50. Instead, say ‘get coffin tips with v-french tips.’”
“I wouldn’t even know the meaning of that,” one woman wrote.
A third woman said: “Does anyone actually use the 1.50? Because I never say a number, I just show [nail techs] what I want.”
“I literally don’t know what the 1.50 is and I thrive on French tips,” another female TikToker added.
