Professional nails aren’t a dream anymore. A little practice and some patients are the only required ingredients for it. Without wasting your day’s salary you can fancy your nails anytime.
French manicure is characterized for their pale pink base and bright white tips. Professionals may apply fake tips followed to nail paint. You can change the process with your preferences, to remove the dryness you can ask for strengthening and conditioning workouts before nail painting.
Basic requirements from a French manicure are the long and healthy nails. For your own French manicure, following are some steps to prepare your nails for the process:

- When warm water make your skin soft, use orangewood stick and smooth your cuticles by gently pushing them back.
- Shape your nails smoothly by using nail file, clipper or beauty scissor.
- Paint the tips with white paint. A second coat depends upon the thickness of the paint. Give each layer enough time to dry.
- Paint the entire nails with transparent pink or nude color, after drying the tips give a second coat if desired.
- Apply a clear topcoat for the protection of your new French manicure. Try to paint a clear coat on each night.
- Perform this procedure in your free time and let your coat dry.
