A French tip is the best way to make your nails look neat and chic! And what better way to keep things light and breezy this summer than with a French manicure? All that glitter and intricate nail art is so passé this season. This look is super easy to achieve, and there are several hacks to perfect it too!
French tips can totally be done at home with one of these easy techniques! Try them out #HauteSquad, and let us know which one is your preferred method in the comments below!
1. Scotch Tape
Use a plain old scotch tape in order to mask off the body of the nail. Before you do this, apply the tape on your hand and peel it off in order to remove excess stickiness. Then apply the tape at the edge of the nail bed line and paint the tip of the nail with white nail polish.
2. Nail Polish Brush
Yes girl, just use what you already have! If your nails are long enough, you can hold the nail polish brush still in one place, and twist your finger from right to left in order to cover the entire surface.
3. Nail Polish Remover And Brush
If there was an eraser to remove nail paint mistakes, then this would be it! Apply the nail polish in vertical strokes on the tip of the nail. (It does not need to be perfect.) Then dip a brush in makeup remover and wipe away the excess nail paint in order to create a sharp line.
5. Band-Aid
Apply the edge of a band-aid on the nail bed line and paint your nails. Peel it off before it dries completely.
6. Nail Art Striper
Use a nail art stripper or a thin brush in order to create a border on the nail bed line. Fill in the tips of the nails with the nail polish brush.
Last but not the least, seal in your master piece with a coat of clear nail polish in order to protect your nails and add some shine!
