Simple French Manicure Tutorial

Nail art is fun and beautiful but it's not always practical if you're in a very professional atmosphere or have to wear a uniform in work. So here is an easy alternative: the classic French Manicure. 

People have been trying French manicure for years with not a lot of success. So many people I know can master one hand perfectly but once their less strong hand leads it gets very messy! With these quick tips you will be Parisian chic in no time.

Also, you can mix up the colours to have a crazy, bright French mani!

What you will need:

• Base coat - I used Forever Strong Pro in 'French Manicure 76' by Maybelline
• Tip colour - I used Nail Tip Whitener Lycra by Rimmel
• Clear top coat - I used Dry Fast Top Coat by Seche Vite
• French manicure nail tips OR file page sheet protectors!
• I got mine from seller 'baby_dolphin_777' on eBay

Step 1: Apply your base coat and allow a long time to dry. It has to be completely dry to apply the tape or else it will come off and you'll have to start again. I recommend leaving at least an hour.

 Step 2: Once the base is well dried, put on your nail tip using your natural white nail as a guide

Step 3: fill in above the tip guide with your white polish. Make sure it's a thin layer otherwise there will be a step between them. Allow to dry well.

Step 4: apply clear top coat and clean up. Now you're done! 

Apologies for my irregular posts, I've been moving house so I'm living out of boxes but I will strive to make more regular and diverse updates.

Lots of love,
