French manicure is a classic type of manicure in which the tips of the nails are painted white, and the main part of the nail is left natural or covered with transparent or slightly pink varnish. This style was popular in many countries and became a symbol of elegance and femininity.
Here’s how to do a classic green French manicure?
Preparing your nails. Start by trimming, shaping and buffing your nails. Remove cuticles and degrease the nail plate.
Clear or pink top coat. Apply a coat of clear or slightly pink polish to the entire nail surface. Let it dry thoroughly.
White tips. Using white polish, carefully paint the tips of each nail. For greater accuracy, you can use special self-adhesive templates for French manicure or paint with a thin brush.
Top Coat: After the white polish has dried, apply a coat of clear top coat for extra shine and long-lasting durability.
