How to Get a Quick French Manicure


Going to the salon every week to get a manicure
can empty out your wallet, but you don’t have to
worry about that anymore! Now you can do your
own French manicure, at home. It’s extremely
easy and doesn’t take up that much time.

First of all, soak your hands in warm water for about
10 minutes. Remove your cuticles
(you can get a cuticle removing lotion)
and cut off all the dead skin around your nails.
File your nails the shape that you want them to
be, although French manicures
look best with square nails.

Apply a clear coat to your nails to start off. You do this to
strengthen your nails. Next up, get a little bit of tape and
place it at the tip of your nail. You should place this tape
according to how thick you want the white stripe to be.
But before you place, the tape, apply the base colour to
your entire nail. Try something in light pink.

After your nails have dried, put the tape over the top of
your nail and make sure that is stays there! To get the
perfect quick French manicure, apply the white nail polish
above the tape. Do this to all your nails and you should be
done in about two minutes! Put a coat of gloss to make it
nice and shiny and to protect the nail polish and you’re
all set. You can try Sally Hansen French Manicure.
