The Perfect @ Home French Manicure

I really like a simple French manicure (not the Rani Mukherjee acrylic kinds!) but I am not going to go to a Salon  and pay them something like Rs.500 to do something I can do at home.




I have been doing my own French Manicure for a long time but the problem always comes with the white tip of course. I always did the white tip with the nail polish brush. But obviously they are much thicker than the line you want on your tip, and so its not very precise. Sometimes it ends up being really thick. All this just means doing the tip over and over again.




But this time I used a thin Paint Brush to do the job. 




Its a normal paintbrush that was lying around. Its No. 5
Because its much thinner you have a greater control over the line and you can also color in any mistakes.
Just dip a little less than half of the brush in the white nail polish and paint the tip. After you are done just wash off the brush with some nailpolish remover.






I used Colorbar exclusive 40 (two coats) as a base. It is a little more pinker than the usual base coat. Colorbar exclusive 37 for the tip.
(Both Rs. 150)




Do you like French Manicures?




From now on every post will have a funny picture at the end which is the result of endless hours of randoming on the intra web. Also I would like to spice things up a little bit, cos I am cool like that : )
