Give Yourself Retro Vibrant Green French Tips - French Tip with Scotch Tape

I watched an old episode of 'We Got Married' yesterday and saw one of the stars sporting this on her nails. I loved it, then forgot about it, went to Walgreens for something else, looked around, saw my beautiful green nail polish on display and immediately purchased it. I love bright color nail polishes.

L'Oreal Shockin Green is a pretty lime green shade with just a hint of gold shimmer.

In this tutorial, I will show you how to give yourself french tips using just scotch tape.

Difficulty: Easy
Instructions

Things You'll Need:

  • L'OREAL Nail Polish in Shocking Green #932
  • Sally Hansen Double Duty Base & Top Coat
  • Scotch Tape
  1. Step 1
     

    Start off with your usual nail prep and apply a clear base coat onto each nail. Sally Hansen's Double Duty Strengthening Top and Base Coat is a great choice.

  2. Step 2
     

    Stick on a piece of tape like so after the base coat is dry on each nail. I place the tape about 2/5-3/5 of the nail in. Do not stick it on completely yet.

  3. Step 3
     

    You do not want a straight line so adjust the tape as necessary. For me, I like to use the adjacent finger to hold down the middle of the tape wile I pull down the ends of the tape towards the base of the nail with the other hand.

  4. Step 4
     

    After you've got your tape down, apply your nail polish.

  5. Step 5
     

    Wait for the nail polish to dry and then slowly and gently peel off the tape.

  6. Step 6
     

    Apply another coat of clear ail polish.

  7. Step 7
     

    You are done! Hope you enjoyed that and thanks for reading.
