Can someone give me some good tips for doing your own manicure?

i want to give myself a french manicure but its too hard any ideas or tips PLEASE!!!???Can someone give me some good tips for doing your own manicure?
file your nails so theyre all the same length and a nice semi-round tip.


paint your nails with a base coat, let it dry then paint them with a nuetral light pink.


and for perfect white tips....


get some french manicure nail stickers.


they look sort of like horseshoes, and you just apply them to your finger so the tip part you want to be white is showing, then just paint over it. they work magnificently.. just dont take the sticker off until the paint is 100% dry! trust me lol


to buy them go to a beauty supply shop or even a supermarket MIGHT have them.


and after you get the tips paint over your nails with a quality top coat and viola :)Can someone give me some good tips for doing your own manicure?
Make sure you get a good brush- bourjois do a very good kind where it is angled so that you can do it perfectly. Oh and also, make sure you follow the natural curve of your nail - don't go making your own shape, just decide how thick you want it to be and follow it according to your own nail. Practice, practice, practice...It took me AGES to conquer it, but I am sure that you can too :D
The last french manicure the lady just slopped some white polish on the top and then she used a small sponge with nail polish remover and made a straight line it looked really nice..





As for the manicure, file your nails in one direction so they don't split then soak the nail in a mild detergent with warm water then push your cuticle back. scrub your nails and polish
i do my own manis and i find if u use acetone and try to find like a SMALL make up brush or small paint brush (i linked a pic of a brush that is similar to mine) it works best. dip the brush in the acetone and move your hand in a circular motion to shape it. hope this helps!
I have a really good manicure/pedicure set. Its really good. I got it from Walgreens. I can push it through the screen if u want!
sally hansen has these new nail art pens. i got mine at walgreens. if you get the white one it makes doing the tips much easier.








hope i helped!!
good luck. i hope you do well
