Help on doing a do-it-yourself french manicure???

I have been using the little stickers to paint the white on perfectly, but the problem I'm running into is that the white takes way too long to dry and then I end up pulling the stickers off prematurely and messing up the white part. Do you have any recommendations on a solid white nail polish that dries very quickly? Or any other tips on DIY french manicures??Help on doing a do-it-yourself french manicure???
i really love maybelline colorama french tip white it drys fast and lasts long. i also ude Kiss french manicure guides....i always do my own toes and it looks great, doing your own french tips takes time,patience, and practice lol...Help on doing a do-it-yourself french manicure???

I would just go out and have them done. It is relativly cheap if you can find a coupon!!
theyre so hard to do by yourself! its better if u just get it done at a nail salon. but if u wanna buy the lil packets, get a friend to do it for you cuz its kinda hard to do ur self. hope this helps

I use the Sally Hensen french manicure set. Instead of using the little stickers, you could start by just painting the top portion of the nair white (it doesn't matter is it's straight or not). Once it dries, using a Q-Tip dipped in polish remover, form the white part. Once you do that, just go over the whole nail with the pink polish and you're done! I only do this on my toes...it's too hard to do on nails so for fingernails, go to a salon!
You should get Maybelline Quick Dry nail polish avaliable at most drug stores.
Wish I could help but I am a guy.
If your like me and love to be pampered, I'd say just spend the $7 bucks or so to get them done at the salon and relax. Also, i know how it can be when you'd rather save that few bucks too so i recently got my own nail tools.





You'll need: A nail file, a buffer to even, smooth and shine, nail polish remover, clear nail polish, an eye shadow brush, white polish, pink if desired, and nail glue definately helps as an extra to make the white tips last longer.





All you need is a very thin coat of the glue along the ends of your nails, then brush on 1 thin coat of white. Next go back over the 1st hand and apply a second coat of the white. Then take your shadow brush and dip it in the nail polish remover. carefully just smooth out the edges, its really easy and helps. Then just throw on your pink and a smooth, shiny top coat.





I would first go get this done at a nail salon for less than 10 bucks. Watch closely how they do this and then you'll get a much better idea on how to do it yourself. Also start with your feet for practice. Have fun!
