http://www.longlex.com/ nail care tip courtesy of ‪http://www.papillonskincare.ie/ on how to how to do it a French manicure like a professional.
The first step is to apply a basecoat. This provides an even base for polish and also stops the nail from absorbing any colour from the polish and becoming discoloured. The next step is the white tip. Using the white polish sweep across the tip from one side to the other. It can take a bit of practice to perfect this stroke and to make sure that all tips are even in width. Only cover the natural tip of the nail as anything wider or narrower than that will result in a very un-natural looking paint. Step three is to apply the French pink all over the nails including the tips. This gives the nails a healthy pink glow and makes the white tips look more natural. Always end your paint with a good top coat. This will add shine and seal in your polish which will make it last longer.

Its been so sunny here in California that I dont even feel winter has started, the funny thing is that its about to end. The rose bushes in my yard are starting to bloom because its been so warm & sunny this winter. I guess I’m telling you this because its the reason for this nail design, I feel spring coming on, & it inspired me to create this floral art.
This is actually the second time I use this background color, if you’d like to see the older video here’s the link to that video:
