To start off with, I simply put a blob of Vienna nail varnish onto a plastic surface. I then used an old Sleek liquid eyeliner nib to apply some of the white nail varnish to my tips. As it was my first time, it was a little messy, so I ended up dipping the eyeliner nib into some nail varnish remover and tidied up a little. Finally I applied a coat of No 7 so strong nail varnish.Sadly I didn't have a nude pink varnish to hand and the results aren't perfect, but for a first attempt I'm pretty pleased with how it turned out and I'll definitely be attempting more french manicures in the future.
What's your favourite nude pink nail varnish? Have you tried any of the Nailtiques nail polishes?
That's great for a first attempt! I used to use the french polish look all the time but lately my nails aren't growing so much, grr.

Wow, well done! I would NEVER have thought to use the nailtiques colour as a french tips. It looks awesome! Well done!
ReplyDeletenailtiques formulas work miracles on weak nails too!
FYI, did you know ORLY created the Original French Manicure? The ORLY french mani range is really impressive with so many tones/finishes to choose from.
