" My name is Lillian with Salon de Scottsdale and on behalf of expertvillage.com we will now continue on with our next step in giving yourself a French manicure at home. We’ve just completed applying the base coat to all ten fingernails and we’re now ready to apply the white coloring to the tip of your nails. Now this is the tricky part, a lot of people think that you have to apply the white coloring just perfect to make a good shaping but that’s not so. You could just apply the white color messy, it doesn’t have to be a perfect shape yet. As you could see I even gotten some on my skin but we’re not going to worry about that now because the brush that I showed you earlier is going to clean all that up. So I’ll just continue on applying the white coloring to the tips and as you notice I kind of go down the side and I just continue on with all my nails. It’s not shaped right yet but not to worry, I’ll show you the next step of how easy it’s going be to make the shape look professional. I’ve completed my left hand, I’ll continue with my right hand and then I will show you how to get rid of the excess white."
