DIY: Perfect French tip




DIY: The perfect French tip manicure

I have gotten my nails done only once, the acrylic fake ones, they looked awesome but theh costed $30. And me personally, I am never going to spend that much money a month just for some nails. 

  But tell me the truth, don't these nails above look like she got them done at a salon? They look awesome! And I did it in the most simplest, cheapest way possible! 

Here is how you can get this simple French manicure...



What you'll need: 

-Nail polish remover
-An old make up brush (eye shadow one works the best)
-white nail polish
-clear nail polish


Fill the cap of the nail polish remover with the nail polish remover so you can dip in your brush easily.


Make sure your nails are clear of any other polish and file your nails to the length or shape you desire.

When starting... 

Paint the tip of your nail going in an upward motion ( like seen in the picture above) do this to all of your nails.

It's okay if it's messy and uneven you can fix it later ( see below)


Next you dip your make up brush into the cup of nail polish remover 


Now once dipped, from side to side you can clean the edge into a curved edge. 
Do this to all of your nails to however long you want your white tip to be 


After cleaning up the edges, take a smaller brush and clean up the excess white around the edges of your fingers

 After doings so, you can paint a clear coat over your nail. I personally do two coats of clear after doing the first set.


*Instead of using a clear coat you can do a white glitter on the naked end of your nail-- then wait for the paint to dry and then paint a top coat if clear. 

This is a easy way for an awesome manicure. It looks so great when I do it people are surprised when I tell them I do my own nails!! 


Sorry for the blurry pictures!
