"Hi! This is Susan from Treat Nail Lounge and today we are going to show you how to polish French nails. First, what you want to do is remove any residue that's on the nail and we're going to use a base coat.

Next, what we're going to do is we're going to use the light pink, pretty natural-looking. The idea behind the French manicure is to really make it look as natural as possible. Now, the last step is going to be the top coat which I think should be as shiny as possible 'cos it really adds a lot to make the nail really fresh-looking, natural. And there you have a French manicure."
