How To Give Yourself A French Manicure
Beauty : Hands And Feet If you dont want to go to a salon, then here's how to give yourself a french manicure. 1. Wash your hands and nails before you start, using an exfoliate scrub. Or just add a bit of salt to a hand lotion. Rinse and dry your hands well. 2. Use a nail file to file your nails, from corner to centre. Dont file straight across as this will make them weak. Do it in one directly only. You can use the softer side to polish them after so that they become really smooth and shiny. 3. Apply hand cream, then soak your nails by wrapping them in a warm towel. This helps to soften the cuticles, which then need to be gently pushed back. Rinse and dry hands thoroughly. 4. Apply one clear base coat completely over your nail and then let it dry. This helps to strengthen and protect your nail. 5. Paint a straight line across each fingernail tip, or follow the curve of your nail if you prefer a rounded look. For a pointed look, paint each side of your nail towards the centre. Let the polish dry completely. 6. Finally, add a coat of translucent pink polish over the whole of your nail; this seals the tip that you just polished white and will complete the look. Again, make sure it dries before doing anything.
