Question by sweet sugar: How to do french manicure/pedicure at home?
I tried clear polish and white polish on the tips but it doesnt look that great. Id like it to look like its professional. Also if i buy a kit why do they give me tape, well not tape but white stickers i guess? Any tips?

Answer by Person who likes Y!A…
insteadbof clear, do more of a pink/peachy color. the sticker, you put on the tip of your nail and then do the pinkish color up to that sticker. once that is dry, you peel the sticker off and then paint white over where it once was. what I normally do after that is, if the pinkish color is pale enough, I paint one light layer of that over the entire nail just to make it blend more.

How to Make a French Manicure

When taking care of your hands and nails, it is important to do it properly, do have the most polished looks that will make a statement instead of you. Having a French manicure, is the safest way to keep your manicure in style and extra polished. It is a classic way to style your nails, it matches any outfit and any occasion. Here are some simple steps to fallow in order to make the most polished nails ever.

Preparing Your Nails

Start by trimming, shaping and cleansing your nails.

It is important to have a length that won’t bother you while doing your everyday work. Make sure they have a comfortable length, so that you can enjoy their presence.

Also, shape your nails in a way that matches your personality, because French manicure looks good in square and rounded shapes as well. Make sure you file your nails in one direction from the outer sides to the middle, in order to avoid cracked nails.

Avoid hangnails and never cut your cuticles. They are meant to protect your nails from bacteria, so make sure you just pull them back.

Remove all the impurities left by cleansing them with nail polish remover. Than wash your hands and you are ready to apply the nail polish.

Making the French Manicure

First of all, as for any nail design, apply a base coat to avoid nail discoloration. Wait until it dries completely.

You will need to apply white nail polish on the tip of your nails, so make sure your hands are steady enough, or use the protective strips included in the home kit manicures. Your nails should get the white nail polish starting exactly from the line where your fingertip is ending.
When you’re done with the white nail polish, remove the strip before letting the nail polish to dry completely.

Don’t do it in a rush because it will turn out smudged. Provide enough time to get the nail polish dried and apply a clear top coat, or an extra light shaded, translucent shell- pink or peach nail polish.

If you want to stay at this manicure, but make it more edgy or match it to your outfits color, simply change the white one to any other nail polish color you want to. It goes perfectly with any color, including black.

Making a French manicure isn’t as hard as it seems like, just be patient and give yourself enough time to practice and to apply it properly. It is essential to make it polished, perfectly shaped and finished. Keep your nails healthy, at a proper length and enjoy this classic yet modern manicure.

History Of The French Manicure

by Cuca de llum

History Of The French Manicure

The french manicure represents elegance and provides an easy-to-do, clean style. It is also a style that never looks out of place, whether you’re going for a fancy dinner at a members only restaurant, or out for a burger at the local McDonalds. Even though it has been around forever, it’s a manicure style that never has faded from popularity and likely never will.

A Style Made In More Simple Times

Nobody really knows exactly when this technique came into existence. Unfortunately, the original creator will never get full credit for their creation, but it’s history has been traced back to nail salons in France sometime in the 1800′s.

Fast-forward to turn of the century Hollywood, movies stars where seen wearing the french manicure in the movies of the 1920′s. This is the earliest time in American history where the style was first seen, but it has continued increasing in popularity up until modern times.

Simplicity To Suit Everyone

The tips of either the fingernails or toe nails are brushed with a white, or off-white nail polish and the remainder of the nail is colored with a fleshy pink, or sometimes beige color. Countless variations are constantly being created and used either with different color variations. The cost to have a french manicure done at your local nail salon is often slightly higher than a typical manicure and polish, but many regular visits to the same salon may net you a reduced price.

Do Your Own At Home

Many women choose to do the manicure at home by themselves. All you need is your preferable shade of white polish for the tips, a stencil to create the line between the white portion of the nail, pink or beige for the rest of the nail and a clear coat to top it all off. While the technique can take some time to perfect, it’s certainly worth the effort to look stylish like our Hollywood celebrities.
