In what order do I apply nail polish for a french manicure? Does it matter?

I have a kit for this and it comes with six bottles, but doesn't say what I should do with them.


The bottles names and color are as follows:


- Extra strength Base coat; color: clear with a purple tinge


- Super finish French pink; color: pink


- Super finish French white; color: white


- Fortifier; color: white


- Finishing touch Top coat; color: clear


-Ceramic smooth; color: fleshIn what order do I apply nail polish for a french manicure? Does it matter?

5th-Fortifier; color: white


6th-Ceramic smooth; color: flesh


7th-Finishing touch Top coat; color: clear





you may want to do the tips again inbeetween steps six and seven
my french manicure kit (a normal one) has three bottles! six bottles is crazy! but i guess its base coat, super finish french white, super finish french pink, fortifier, ceramic smooth, and finally the top coat. Go for a simpler kit next time.
I honestly don't think you need all of these bottles. I would start out with the Extra Strength Base Coat. Then you can do the tip of your nails with the Super Finish French White. After that dries you can use the Super Finish French Pink on all of your nail (including over top of your white tips). Finally, you can apply the Finishing Touch Top Coat to your nails (applying your top coat everyday helps your nails to look better and last longer).
to make it all one level and smooth i would suggest that you


put the base coat on first


then do the tip color


and last the finishing touch top coat
