How to do a French manicure
Remove your old nail color with an acetone remover. Clean your nails and trim it to the desired shape. Once your nails are ready to be painted apply the base coat, a thin and even crust on your nails. This cover will paint the entire nail, even the tip of your nail. Now paint the tips with natural white polish and let them dry. A soft white paint will look great but a deep and wide polish will make your nails look chunky. If white is not happening, use an off white. Over this entire shading, apply a coating of transparent natural polish. Make sure the nails dry completely.
