Tip for a Perfect French Manicure DIY

I've only been once in my life in a nail salon and that's because I had a coupon.
Don't get me wrong when I'll be rich I'd be happy to go every week to a professional, sitting and relaxing whilst everyone is paying attention to me. :)

I just, for now, choose to spend my money wisely, and why not, when I can take care of my nails, easily,by myself.

I think I've been using this tip for french manicure since forever. I don't take credit though, I've learned it from my best friend's sister (who also introduced me to pedicure and bright red toe nails at the age of 17)

What you need is : A french manicure set (that you can also put together yourself with a white nail polish, a sheer pink one and a top coat) and some tape. Yes.Tape.

1. We start off with clean nails (nail polish remover, cut cuticles, put some lotion etc)

2. Put some tape under the white part of your nails, sticking it on your nail and wraping it around your finger. (agh, I hope you understand my nonsense! Look at the pic anyway.)

3. Depending on your nail shape you might have to bend the tape slightly, or it might be completely staight.

4. Grab your white nail polish and put it on the tip of your nails.

5. It can be completely sloppy as you can see, and that's ok, since our whole nail is covered with the tape.

6. Wait some minutes until it's completely dry and remove the tape slowly.

7. You can now add the sheer pink colour.

8. When it's dry, apply the top coat and you're good to go. Tadaah.
