Basic Guide To French Manicure

The French Manicure is a classic nail finish, and provides an elegant, refined look suitable for both day and night wear. Creating a French Manicure is actually quite easy and all you will need is an opaque white nail polish, nude or light pink translucent nail polish and a clear topcoat:
· Remove any existing nail polish, shape your nails and gently push back your cuticles with an orange stick. Massage over some intensive hand cream and leave for an hour or so to let it soak in.
· Carefully apply a thin layer of the white polish to the tips of your nails, dry and then repeat.

· Now apply a thin coat of the nude/pink polish all over the nail, allow to dry and then repeat if you feel it needs another coat.
· Once the nails have completely dried paint over with the clear topcoat, which will help to strengthen the nail and prevent the polish from chipping.
