Start by removing any old nail polish with nail polish remover. Trim and file your nails to your desired length and shape. Push back your cuticles gently with a cuticle pusher or a wooden stick. Wash your hands thoroughly and dry them completely.

Step 3: Apply the Base Coat

Apply a clear base coat to your nails to protect them and help the polish adhere better. Let it dry completely before moving on to the next step.

Step 4: Apply the Light Pink or Beige Polish

Once the base coat is dry, apply light pink or beige nail polish to your nails. This will serve as the base color for your French manicure. Apply two thin coats of polish, letting each coat dry completely before applying the next.

Step 5: Apply the French Manicure Stickers or Tape

This step requires a bit of patience and precision. Apply the French manicure stickers or tape to the tips of your nails, leaving only a small part of the nail exposed. Make sure the stickers are straight and aligned with the edge of your nail.

Step 6: Apply the White Polish

Now it's time to apply the white polish to the tips of your nails. Use a small brush or toothpick to carefully paint the white polish onto the exposed part of your nails. Start with a thin coat and add more if needed. Wait a few seconds before carefully removing the stickers or tape.

Step 7: Apply the Topcoat


Once the white polish is dry, apply a clear topcoat to your nails to seal in the color and add shine. Let it dry completely before using your hands.

Congratulations! You have successfully done a French manicure at home. Enjoy your chic and timeless look that will surely make you feel fabulous and ready to take on the world!
