How to Paint a French Manicure

Video Transcript

"Have you ever wondered or considered how to paint a French polish on your nails? Hi. I'm Jackie O, beauty artist, and today we will be going over the procedures to polishing and painting the French look. You want to first start off with a base coat. Make sure that that application dries before you apply the next coat, which will be a selection of the Sheer Pink, the Natural Manicure Pink, or like an Off-Beige Pink. You want to first make sure that your applications are nice and thin as you're applying it to the natural nail. You want to make sure, when you're applying your polish, that you go from cuticle to free edge. You normally only need one coat of the Sheer Pink polish to give that French look. You want to wait until that application dries, as well, and then take your White-White, and apply it to the free edge, by moving your brush from left to right. And basically you're going from the left side of the cuticle corner, of the free edge, and you're drawing it all the way across to the other side of the free edge. Once you're complete and finished with that, with that application, you allow it to dry. You take your top coat. Apply one application. Swipe it over to seal it. And you're done. This is a beautiful French polish application. I'm Jackie O, beauty artist, and today we have discussed how to paint a French polish."
