Step-By-Step: the New French Manicure

Start off by painting one layer of a base coat. Then choose two complementary polish colors that will look great on the same nail. We picked peach and red.

BASE COLOUR

Apply two coats of your chosen basecoat color and allow the polish to dry.

CUT YOUR BRUSH

To draw your French manicure tips you’ll need a skinny brush for a precise application, so take an old nail polish brush and cut it in half.

THE FRENCH TIP

Dip the cut brush into your second nail polish colour of choice, and then paint your tip horizontally, from one side to the other; apply two coats. If necessary tidy up any excess polish with a Q-tip dipped in nail polish remover.

 

Allow the polish to dry completely, and then seal the look with a layer of clear, topcoat for extra stay and shine. Voila!
