Clean Your Nails

Wash your hands and remove old nail polish with an acetone-free polish remover.

Give Nails Your Favorite Shape

It is suggested that the middle almond or short square shape looks best for French nail tips.

Buff Nail Plate

One little mani-secret is that gently buffed nails help polish to stay better. The key to proper buffing is to use a high grit buffer with a light touch and focus around the cuticle area.

Hydrate Your Hands and Cuticles

Soak your cuticles in cuticle oil and then pushing them back. Next, exfoliate your hands with a body scrub and apply hand cream. Use nail polish remover to dehydrate the nail.

Apply the Base

Apply one thin layer of a base coat, to get maximum adhesion. This helps the manicure last longer.

Paint the Tip of the Nail

With a fine brush, draw a horizontal line on the top of the tip, then a vertical line from the tip of the nail to the line you drew. Then draw a line on the side and connect it at the top and repeat on the other side.Then round out the corners to make a perfect smile line and fill in. See the video below for a demonstration!

Finish With a Thin Layer of Sheer Pink and then Topcoat

Add a layer of a sheer pink nail polish to make your French nails look more natural. After removing any unwanted polish with a Q-tip soaked with nail polish remover, finish with a thin layer of top coat to help your manicure last longer.
