1. Prepare your nails

  • Remove your old nail polish and file your nails into shape.

2. Soak Nails

  • Soak your nails in to warm water.

3. Prepare the Cuticle

  • Slowly push the cuticles back using an orange stick. You can also use a cuticle remover.

4. Apply cream

  • Apply hand cream to the nails for 2-3 minutes.

5.  Apply basecoat

  • Apply a clear basecoat and leave to dry.

6. Nail Paint

  • Paint your nails, leave to dry, wait 2 minutes

7. Paint Tips

  • Paint the naturally white tip of the nail with an opaque white or beige polish.

8. Finish with Clear Polish

  • Finish the nail with a coat of clear polish. This will protect the layers underneath. It’s great to do this

9. Clean the errors

  • Using an orangewood stick clean your nail errors with a remover.

10. Let them dry

  • Wait at least 20 minutes to be safe your french manicure is ready.
