DIY French Manicure… Effortlessly

Jun 102012

I love to have great looking nails but hate paying to get them done and sitting there with the smell of a nail place.. Check out this easy way to give yourself your own French Manicure from Pop Cosmo! I grabbed a pack of the paper reinforcements for $1.00 at Walmart.

How to do a French Manicure

Step 1: Apply a base coat and let dry. It’s important that it is completely dry before you proceed.
Step 2: Apply either blue painter’s tape or paper reinforcements to your nail.
Step 3: Paint a neon color on the tip, or whatever color you would like to use. Use 2 light coats for coverage. Thick coats are not advisable because it leaves a ridge (you can see one in our ring finger… oops!)
Step 4: Remove tape or reinforcement AFTER the polish has dried.
Step 5: Apply a clear coat and enjoy!
