How to do French Tips

I probably do my french tips a little different than most people. Here is all you're going to need:

1) A base coat (clear or pink). I used OPI's Natural Nail Strengthener.
2) Super fine nail brush
3) White acrylic paint
4) Mixing plate
5) Water
6) Top coat. I used Seche Vite's Fast Drying TOp Coat (this is optional, you can just use your base coat again)



Now that you've gathered everything here is what to do:

1) paint the base coat and let it dry
2) In the mean time, put some acrylics on the mixing plate with some water. Water will make it a lot easier to apply since the consistency is not as thick.
3) Dip the brush into the paint/water mixture and paint on white tips! This is super easy to do, just follow the white like on your natural nail and fill it in.
4) let the paint dry! This is very important. If you don't let it dry, it wont look good.
5) Apply top coat and you're done!

See how simple it is? Try it next time!
