A Classic: French Manicure

One of the most elegant and classy ways to do your nails is this: French manicure.

HERE I found a very easy to follow guide to do it yourself:


"1)Using a cotton ball soaked in nail polish remover, wipe off any old nail polish prior to painting nails. Wash hands and soak in warm water for a few moments.

2)With an orangewood stick, gently push back the cuticles so they are all even with each other once the water has softened your skin.

3)With nail clippers, beauty scissors or a nail file, shape your nails evenly.

4)With a steady hand, carefully paint only the tip of each nail with a white hue. A second coat may be desirable, depending on the thickness and opaqueness of the polish. Allow polish to dry between coats.

5)Using a slightly transparent pink or nude color, paint the entire nail once the tips have dried. A second coat may be necessary. Allow nails to dry thoroughly.

6)Once all the coats have dried, apply a clear topcoat to protect your new French manicure. To lengthen the manicure's lifespan, make an effort to paint a clear coat on each night. Be sure it has ample time to dry completely. "

This is one of my favorite ways to do it and I think the result is very pretty. I hope you will find this guide useful.
