Bright
Red nail polish (optional), such as
Adorée #145, #176, or #215
Step 1
Start with a clear base coat. Apply the natural pink nail polish to even out the color of the nail and to give it a soft pink shade.
Step 2
For French tip, paint one steady stroke across the top of the nail with a loaded brush. Second way is to draw a strip by filling in little segments.
Step 3
Let French tip dry well. Apply a second layer of the natural pink polish over the entire nail to give it a more natural look.
Step 4
This step is our favorite though it's optional. With a bright red polish, paint small dots with a dotting tool, along the inside edge of a French stripe.
A new touch for traditional design!
Some tips:
-
As an alternative the red dots can be painted only on the big toes.You can also substitute red with any color of your choice.
-
Make sure that a layer is dry before putting another layer on top of it. This will make the application lasts long and looks neat.
-
Finish your manicure or pedicure with
top coat for extra shine and protection.
-
Create your own french line guide from masking tape or label. It's special for your nails only and cheap.
-
For perfection, use a Q-Tip soaked in polish remover to remove the polish around the cuticle/nail and also to rub away the white polish until you find the nice french line you want.

Tips from you:
My tip for teenagers and women is when you're performing a french manicure it might get too fat which you probably don't want, so you should put some tape. GOOD LUCK EVERYBODY. ~Thanks to Danica ~.
