French Tips At-Home

  


Hey GIRLIEs ... I know, we all love those french tips. A total style statement which is Elegant, Sophisticated & Chic.... So here are some simple steps to grab those nails at home.

What you will need :

• White Nail Polish
• Pale Pink Nail Polish
• Top Coat / Clear Nail Polish
• Small Paint Brush
• Nail Polish Remover

Steps to Achieve the look :

  At first it might be a bit tricky but don't get frustrated, just keep it cool ....

Start with clean, bare nails that have been filed.Using the white polish, paint the ends of your nails slightly thicker than you would like the white tips to be.  Don’t worry about being too exact. Depending on the polish you may need to apply 2 coats to achieve solid white tips.Let the whites air dry for a few minutes before starting the next step.Dip your paint brush in nail polish remover and drag it along the inside of the white strip you have painted. Remember to mimic the shape of your nail with a slight curve. You will have to repeat this several times to get a smooth line. Slowly thin the line out until it is the width you like. Continue this on each nail, trying to keep the width of the white tip consistent. Note: Even with a lot of practice, your right hand can be difficult to do (or your left hand if you are left handed).  This step might require a little help from a friend. Manicure party!Once you are satisfied with your tips, apply one coat of pale pink polish over the entire nail.  It is best to use a more sheer polish for a more natural look.Add a clear top coat and your done!
