French manicure step-by-step
- Apply a clear base coat to the nails and wait to dry. The base coat helps even out bumps on the nail surface for a smoother finish and protects your nails from yellowing with stain.
- Carefully paint the white polish over the tip of each nail. Wait for the polish to dry. If one coating is not opaque enough, repeat with a second coating and allow this coating to be dry and smudge-proof.
- With a sheer pink or nude varnish, paint over the entire nail, including the tips. Wait for the polish to dry thoroughly.
- Finish with a layer of clear topcoat to protect your French manicure and prevent chipping. Avoid doing other things while you wait for the polish to dry completely.
