How to Paint a French Manicure Without Guide Strips

Video Transcript

"Have you ever considered changing up your polish application and your polish look? Hi, I'm Jackie O. Beauty artist. And today we will discuss how to paint a French polish look without the use of guide strips. We want to first consider following our basic procedures to our polish applications. We want to make sure that we first apply the base coat. Just one thin coat is good. We want to also consider using an off pink, a French manicure pink, or a beige pink to bring down the subtleness of the French look. After we have one thin coat of that, and it dries completely, we want to use our French white polish only at the free edge. You want to take your brush and you want to go from one corner of the free edge, all the way across with a swiping C curve shape in the hand movement. This will give you the French polish look without the use of guide strips. I'm Jackie O. beauty artist, and today we have discussed how to give yourself a French manicure without the use of French manicure strips."
