Weekly Makeup Tips Blog!

There is nothing more indulging than a professional manicure or pedicure! Not everyone can afford this kind of luxury, but that doesn't mean that you don't deserve one! A French manicure is such a lovely treat on your toes. It makes your nails look super-healthy because the tips are white and the nailbeds are pink.

You can do this at home if you practice enough, although some agility and flexibility is necessary since you need to be able to reach your own toes! You need two bottles of polish - white and a peach or pink tone. You'll also need a small paint brush and some nail polish remover.

Start by cleaning off all old polish. Next use the white and carefully paint at least two layers on the tips of your nails. Don't worry about being extremely neat at this point. You will then clean up the line with your paint brush dipped in some nail polish remover. Don't expect it to just all clean up at once, you may have to brush over it several times.

Finally, apply the pink/flesh tone color. You can paint it right over the white, OR you can paint it on sideways (it won't show the lines when it dries). Then polish off the whole thing with a clear coat over all of it to make it last. With enough practice, you will be able to do a nice French Pedicure at home!
