Best pastel nail polish collection!
Tools and materials:
- Neutral/nude nail polish
- Multiple nail polish colors
- Top coat
1. Polish your nails
Apply a neutral-colored nail polish to your nails and let them dry completely.
2. Add colored French manicure tips
Pick out your favorite nail polish colors, keeping them in a similar tone. For instance, use all pastel colors.
Apply a thin layer of colored nail polish to the tip of your fingernail. When taking the nail polish from the bottle, make sure to remove excess nail polish from your brush.
To get a nice steady, even line of color, put the side of your hand that is holding your brush on the table, and then slowly rotate your hand to draw the brush across your nail, rather than pulling the brush itself across.
This technique will give you much more control over the application of the nail polish.
Notice that this method uses a free-hand application of the lines instead of using nail tape to apply the color to the tips. This gives a more organic look to your French manicure.
3. Add a top coat
Let your tips dry completely and then apply a top coat to your nails. Did you know that if you put the top coat on nails that aren’t fully dry, the topcoat can actually shrink the polish below it?
