Follow These 5 Easy Steps To Do A French Manicure At Home
Step 3: Remove nail cuticles and moisturize your nails and finger tips
Removing all the cuticles on your nails may consume a bit of your time, but hey, doing the perfect French manicure doesn’t come that easy! The quickest way to do this is to soak your hands in warm water and then remove/push the cuticles using an orange stick. Make sure that you clean your nails with a towel or cotton pad and then moisturize your hands before you start doing your French manicure at home. Wipe any excess cream or moisturizer.
Step 4: Apply a base coat, nail polish and the white nail paint
As you are all set to begin coloring your nails for your beautiful French manicure at home, apply the first base coat on your nails. Allow that to dry and then use a shade of nail polish that is either translucent or very similar to the shade of your nail bed. Nude nail shades work well with French manicures. Friends, don’t cut corners and allow this coat of nail paint to fully dry and then reapply. Once you are sure that the 2nd coat has dried out, paint the tip of your nails with a white nail paint or a white nail varnish. With your very own French manicure at home, you have a choice of either drawing a straight line with the white paint or going with the natural curve of your nails. What is your style?
Step 5: Add a few finishing touches
Are you wondering what you will do if you’ve made mistakes while applying white nail paint on the tip of your nails? Stop worrying. You can fix these errors by either using cotton buds or wrapping some cotton around the orange stick topped off with nail polish remover. Once you are done, finish doing your perfect French manicure at home by applying a coat of clear nail polish to protect your hard work. Oh and do we really need to tell you to stay put for at least 20 minutes before you do anything else to avoid smudges?
