french manicure/pedicure





the nails polish has to be really strong. Sally hansen / essie are good. Put a piece of duct tape/strong tape on the nails put leave the part that you want to paint. Put a layer of white nails polish, wait until it fully dries. Then take off the tape, and paint a clear/pinkish top coat. 2 top coats will do :] If you want to use rhinestones, put the rhinestones on before the 2 clear/pinkish coats so they will also stay. Make any designs before the top coats.
I go get mine done at my beauty school once everymonthand when they fall of or break i soak them in acitone to get them off and replace them with the ones that your buy at department stores it cheaper this way and does not max out my credit card!
trim and sand the edges now rub with vinegar to etch the surface now use several light coats of color and another of gloss clear
Make sure you remove all old polish. Use your cuticule creme and gently push cuticles back. Next use your nippers and carefully cut away all dead skin. Moisturize your hands. Now.....very important....you must take your fingernail polish remover and cleanse the nail plate again. removing all residue from cuticule creme and moisturizer.





Next, it is very important to use a base coat. Always. This helps protect the nail from turning pink or orange when you use dark colors. But most important, it helps grip the polish and hold it.





Use two coats of polish. Let it dry three or four minutes at least before sealing it all with a good top coat.





Now you have the perfect mani/pedicure that should last.
