Any tips on applying a french manicure?

i find it hard to get a straight lineAny tips on applying a french manicure?
If you are ';freestyling'; the white tip the rest the wrist and brace your little finger on the hand you paint with on the table, this steadies your hand and helps you achieve a straight line. Guide tapes are good but you have to apply them straight in order to get a straight paint line. Also the line can look a little harsh. Freestyling the line is softer and more natural. It's harder and takes practice, but if you rest your wrist and finger on the table your hand wont wobble or shake.Any tips on applying a french manicure?
I take white polish and apply a thin coat to the tip of the nail and let it dry for a minute. Then I take an eyebrow brush, dip it in nail polish remover and define the line. Once I have the perfect line I put a coat of base coat, then two coats of a light pink and then a top coat. I always get lots of compliments. Hope this helps!
Put scotch tape on the part where you want the paint to stop...and put it on... then remove the tape.. you have a pretty even line..


Sometimes this doesn't work...if this happens just completely remove it and try again.


This is what I do.. and it usually works for me...I hope it works for you!
take tape and put it on the full big part of your nail you know what i mean?like not the tips...anyway dont put tape on however much you want to be white then panit your nail but dont tke the tape off until it is completely dry..
you can buy the kit it's affordable or if you want you can get a strip of tape and put it on your toe nail and then paint the line on the spot where you didn't put the tape so it will come out straight
me too. A lot of kits have a really thin brush for the white polish but i find that a regular brush is easier. If that makes any since...
Just go to the nail salon to get them done.
