Nails - French Manicure at Home!


How do I do it?
  • Using a cotton ball soaked in nail polish remover, wipe off any old nail polish before painting your nails. Wash hands and soak in warm water for a few moments.
  • With a wooden nail stick, gently push back the cuticles so they are all even with each other once the water has softened your skin.
  • With nail clippers, beauty scissors or a nail file, shape your nails evenly.
  • With a steady hand, carefully paint only the tip of each nail with a white hue. A second coat may be desirable, depending on the thickness and opaqueness of the polish. Allow polish to dry between coats.
  • Using a slightly transparent pink or nude color, paint the entire nail once the tips have dried. A second coat may be necessary. Allow nails to dry thoroughly.
  • Once all the coats have dried, apply a clear topcoat to protect your new French manicure. To lengthen the manicure's lifespan, make an effort to paint a clear coat on each night. Be sure it has enough time to dry completely.
