French Manicure At Home

French manicure. The easiest way.

Almost all the pretty girls are tempted by that classy look which French manicure has. At least once in life you want that look but that perfection is going to cost you an arm and a leg.
Well, no, it won’t be so. Here are just a few steps which will give you an easy, hassle free French manicure.

First, wipe out your nails with nail paint remover. Any stray of nail polish should not be left. Avoid using acetone based removers as they are harsh on nails. It would be better if you dip the nails in the remover for 3-5 minutes, this will soften the cuticles. If cuticles are not hard, applying the nail paints would be easy.

After that, cut the nails in an even manner, length of each nail should be the same. Uneven length gives an ugly look after the manicure is complete.

Get the base coat. Generally the base color is pale pink or colorless. The new trends invite different colors as the base, so if you want a French manicure but a little louder then pick a dark shade as the base.

Apply the base neatly, evenly without making mistakes. If you commit any mistakes while applying then start from the scratch, clean the nail and paint it again.

Once you are done with the base coat, let it dry. In case you have picked a dark shade as the base, then you need apply a second coat as well as and when the first coat dries. When you are done with this step, move on to the real fun.

Take a painters tape, or any of your regular tape. Cut small pieces of it and stick them on your nails just till the part which has the skin under. The white part of the nail should be out of the tape. Now apply the white color over it. If you choose something funky try any color in contrast to your base color (Try out gold, trust me it will look cool). Even if you make mistakes, don’t feel hurt you have already under cover. After finishing this step on all the nails, remove the tapes from each one of them and let it dry.

The final phase, apply the top coat to keep your work secure. And it’s done. It keeps the design under intact avoiding wear and tear due to weather and your daily routine.
