Tips for do-it-yourself French Manicure

If you want to have a professional-looking nails without spending time in the salon? Want a simple nail style in short time.  With some practice and a little patience, you can enjoy a special  French manicure any time you want with  the cost of your nail polish.

So what is French menicure? It’s a style of manicure in which the fingernails are painted pale pink with a white band at the tip.

 

Follow these steps you will have a simple and special kind of nails:

ü  Start by trimming your nails to the length you desire. Make sure all of them are equal. And remember: When it comes to the French manicure, the longer they are, the better it looks.

ü  Figure out the type of shape you like (either rounded or square). Then grab a nail file and get to work.

ü  Dip your hands in a bowl of warm water and let them soak for a minute or two. Then take a cuticle pusher and gently push your cuticles back. Use the opposite end of the cuticle pusher to remove any dirt and grime from underneath your nails.

 

ü  Paint on a thin layer of sheer pink polish, and let your nails dry for a couple of minutes. For gels nails, cure them under the LED light for 45 seconds only, no longer. Repeat this step again with a second coat of polish, and allow your nails to dry (or cure) before moving on.

ü  With your white polish, lightly brush color onto the tip of your nails. Let the polish dry for a few minutes. For gel nails, you have to wait 45 seconds for curing. Repeat this step with a second coat, and wait for it to dry or cure.

 

ü  Remove your nail guide, and apply a top coat of polish. Allow this coat to dry for several minutes (or cure it under the light for 45 seconds). Voila, you’ve just completed your very own French manicure.

ü  Now with all the new nail advances, it's easy to score a salon-worthy mani right in the comfort of your own home. Pick up a French manicure kit at your local beauty supply store (for longer lasting color, try a gel nail one), or invest in some sheer pink and white polish to easily do it yourself.

 

For a chic and polished look, nothing is better than  a classic French manicure. This style of manicure is very easy and you can do it at home by yourself .
