French Manicure - how do I do it?

Question

I have been given a french manicure kit consisting of pink nail varnish, white nail varnish and some sticky white paper curves. How do I go about applying them to my nails?
thank you

Answer 1

1. Align the paper curves so the top of the curve runs along the bottom of the white of your nail.

2. Apply white polish to tips, following edge of paper curve. The paper will help you keep a clean line.

3. Allow white polish to dry. Remove paper curves.

4. Apply pink varnish to entire nail and let dry.

5. Optional: After both varnishes have dried completely, apply clear top coat to protect.

Answer 2

those sticky white paper curves are meant to be placed over your nail tips to shield the soon to be white polish from the pink varnish. Place them first curve side down on your un-polished nails then, apply the pink color. let that dry then remove the paper and add the white color to the remaining tips! Finish the whole nail with a clear top coat! You'll see a beautiful professional look in no time! Have Fun!!!!

Answer 3

Forget those little white stickies, they are way too hard to deal with. Instead, go get a pack of little round band-aids (you know, they're like the size of a quarter) and doing one hand at a time, cover your entire nail, accept for the tip, with the band-aid (make sure they are secure so the polish doesn't run). Make sure that it's on there evenly so it will give you a nice natural curve. After you put on the band-aids, paint the tips (it's okay if polish gets on the band-aid that's what they're there for!) with the white polish. Keep the band-aids on and allow that to dry for about fifteen minutes, then quickly remove them. After they are thoroughly dry, do the other hand the same way. Once all of the tips are gone, just add a coat or two of the natural polish the way you normally would, waiting at least 5-10 minutes for each coat to dry. This is the easiest way to do it, but don't rush, that will just mess up all your hard work! Hope this helps!

Answer 4

You take THE STICKY WHITE PAPER CURVES and put them just above the part where you want the polish. Take the desired color of nail polish and paint it where the ends of your nail are and just partially paint some on the white sticker. After put on over it a clear coating.

Answer 5

i agree with the first persons answer,
except..
use CLEAR nail polish instead of the pinkish over the white, because the clear makes it look more profetionally done, and it makes it shinier and more natural looking!
try it !
