A French manicure is a classic and elegant style of manicure that involves painting the nails with a neutral or clear base color, and then creating a white tip at the free edge of the nails. Here’s how to do a French manicure:
Start by washing your hands and removing any existing nail polish.
Use a cuticle pusher to gently push back your cuticles. Then, use a cuticle nipper to trim any excess cuticle.
File your nails to the desired shape and length.
Use a buffing block to smooth out any ridges or unevenness on the surface of your nails.
Apply a base coat to protect your nails and help the polish adhere better.
Apply the base color of your choice, making sure to cover the entire nail.
To create the white tip, use a white nail polish or a French manicure stencil to apply the white polish to the free edge of your nails.
Apply a topcoat to seal in the color and add shine.
Allow the polish to dry completely before touching or using your hands.
Note: French manicure can be done also with gel or acrylic nails, in this case you’ll need a UV lamp and some specific products for the technique.
