Things You'll Need:
- nail clipper
- nail filer
- cuticle pusher
- base coat
- white tip nail color
- sheer pink or beige nail color
- clear top coat
-
Step 1
Begin with clean unpolished toe nails, and soak in warm water for about 5 minutes. Then remove from water and pat dry. Next apply the cuticle oil and push back all cuticles to make even. Then only clip nails if you feel necessary, otherwise just a bit of filing the nail straight across will do. Next, wipe off all the oil from the nails and begin to paint.
-
Step 2
Apply a base coat to the toe nails. you want to try a protein based polish with UV protection. Sally Hansen carries one for about 6 dollars. This will prevent your nails from yellowing as you keep polish on them. Then beginning on either corner of the nail start a thing straight line of the white tip polish across the nail. (repeat a second coat if this seems to light, or the line wasn't straight enough for your liking.)
-
Step 3
Next apply the sheer polish of your choice to each nail, and finish with the top coat. Allow about a half hour to 45 minutes to fully dry,(unless using quick dry polish which requires less wait time.)
