Then drag it towards the center tip of the nail. Do the same on the other side, then one more
stroke along the middle to create a slightly curved French tip. Another way to
color the tips, is to do small vertical strokes like this. Line the brush to
the start of your nail tips to fill them up. You can go over areas again to
make the edge more smoother looking. The third way is to start your brush the
same position as the first method, hold the brush in the same spot and roll
your finger to create a smooth line across the tips. Whichever way you choose
to do your tips, if you make a mistake or want to fix up any rough edges, just
dip a flat brush in nail polish remover and use the corner of the brush to wipe
away any unwanted areas to create the most perfect looking French tip manicure.
If you have a thin brush, like this one, that came with my Konad nail art pen,
Apply 2 curved lines from both sides of the nail to section off the tip area.
Line the corners of the nail then fill in the rest. This method is my favorite
freehand technique to create French tips because it can create a deeper curve
than the normal brush can without making a mess. As you have probably seen in
many of my videos, I like to use the tip guides to create a quick and easy
French tip. But I'm going to make it a bit more fancy this time just to show
you the different ways you can use them. Place them on the nail and make sure
the sides are well stuck down so the polish don't slip through. First apply the
white base color then dab a few drops of a second color and use a thin brush to
mix them together. You can swirl them around to create a marble pattern or go
all in one direction and create a duo toned pattern. Once you’re happy with the
result, peel the sticker off and there you have it, a fancy French tip. For
those of you who do not have any tip guides handy, maybe you have some Band-Aid
laying around. If you peel off the backings on either side, you can use the
sticky part as a tip guide since it has a curved edge Again make sure the sides
are stuck down securely This method is good for an emergency repair because I
Wouldn't think it's very practical to use one for every nail which is why you
can try using scotch tape instead place the side of the tape to section off the
tip of the nail make sure the sides are well stuck down Apply your nail polish
to the tip area and slowly peel of the tape to create a super straight French tip
As an alternative you can also use the zigzag edged side to section the tip to
create a crafty looking French tip I think it looks pretty cute and
unique. Let me know if it's something
you might like to try.
Now to create a French manicure that's out of this
world. You can't go pass the stamping method
First apply a base color to half of the nail then use a French tip plate like
this M87 plate and apply special polish over the design Scrape off excess
polish using the scraper then transfer the image using the stamper Check that
the image is complete, then aim and roll it over the tip of the nail now soak a
q tip in polish remover and wipe off the excess nail polish from below the tip print
How cool is that Here is another fancy way of creating French tips using
plastic bags Or the backing paper of stickers Apply a few colors of nail polish
onto the surface then use the tip of a thin brush to mix the colors together
Let it dry for a couple of hours or leave it over night to set When its dry,
peel it off the paper like so, and use scissors to cut a curved shape like the
tip guides Apply base coat over the nail and place this piece over the tip of
the nail let it sit for about 10 seconds then bend the edges and file off the
excess with a filer When it’s done it should look something like this You can
always use the flat brush soaked in polish remover to clean around the cuticles
or smooth out any lines to create the perfect French tip Wait we're not done
yet, I promised you a bonus one so here it is Who says French tips has to be a
solid shape. If you have a nail art pen,
or even just a toothpick you can dot in the tip instead just make sure you
place the dots in the nail tip area use a few different colors to
decorate. And you'll end up with this
cute and colorful retro French tip. When you’re done, don't forget to apply top
coat for a long lasting manicure, more information see
