Ditch the classic French manicure. This year, stay ahead of the curve with the stunning two-tone French style.
The concept?
Instead of traditional white, coat the nail's free edge with a bold, eye-catching color for a fresh twist.
The pro technique?
As with any French manicure, begin by applying two thin coats of base polish and allow them to dry completely. My go-to trick, honed from years perfecting client looks, is using hole reinforcements (those paper stickers from school supplies we all remember!).
Position them precisely along the nail edge to guide your application. Now, apply a thin layer of your accent polish to the exposed free edge.
Go light-handed: a thick layer risks slipping under the edges when you remove the stickers. As it dries, refine any slips with a fine brush dipped in remover.
Finally, peel off the reinforcements and seal with a top coat to blend the colors seamlessly and add that glossy shine. Pro-level results guaranteed!
