French Manicures Made Easy
By Donna Kelly

French Manicure Tip: The key to all manicures is to wait for each coat to dry thoroughly before applying the next coat otherwise you are sure to end up with smudges.

French Manicure Tip: If you are feeling adventurous make your own colour combinations. Instead of white and neutral polishes you could try red with gold tips or white with silver tips or any combination you like.

French Manicure Step 9: Apply a top coat

The top coat is what protects your nail polish. Before you apply the top coat, touch your nails and make sure they are completely dry. A top coat gives nails an added extra shine and looks more professional. A top coat will also help to prevent nail polish chipping and help your nail polish to last much longer. Apply top coat every few days for extra protection and shine.

French Manicure Step 10: Touch ups

Almost everyone gets some nail polish on their fingers instead of their nails. The best way to clean up around the nail is by using a cotton bud. Dip the cotton bud in nail polish remover and gently rub around the nail to clean up any unwanted nail polish. It's best to wait to do this after your top coat is COMPLETELY dry.

Enjoy your stylish French Manicure.
