Most of the people don’t worry much about decorating their feet and hands since they bother more about matching up their bags to their shoes and styling their hair amazingly. But if your hands and feet are not up to the mark, you are not so stylish. Manicure is one of the perfect ways to groom your hands and nails; it describes your entire personality. And today, while referring to various types of manicures, I must admit French manicure is the one which has taken the globe by storm.

For ladies, who love sophisticated and natural look and do not want coloured nails to retain that professional look, French manicure is perfect for them. It is quite easy on the eyes and appears wonderful. This sort of manicure has nude or light pink base coat, with fingernail’ tips colored bright white.  What you get is an elegant and clean look. This will even go well with your different sorts of attires, whether the elegant dresses or casual wears. You don’t have to bother about picking nail paint or matching nail color with the color of the outfit you are wearing. The use of neutral or light colors will go perfectly fine with all costumes.

Simple Steps to get Perfect French Manicure!

Step 1:

First, you have to prepare your nails and hands by exfoliating and massaging them with the use of body scrub. After that, clean them with water and let them dry thoroughly. You know what, not drying hands adequately after washing is the reason why people get chapped hands.

Step 2:

Next step is to file the nails. In case they tend to split or are brittle, then it is good to keep them in flat shape across the top with rounded and smooth edges. Also, you have to move the filer in one direction since moving unevenly can smash up the nail plate.

Step 3:

Your third step will be coating hands in almond’s oil layer and then wrapping them in thick cloth or towel for around 15-20 minutes. This can add softness and nourishment to your hands. Unwrap and begin pushing back the cuticles with a rubber hoof stick. Remember using cuticle clipper can notch your skin. Once done with this step, rinse hands and dry them to wipe out oil residues.

Step 4:

Now it’s the turn of most essential part of French manicure i.e. coating the nails. Apply a base coat on your nail and let it dry for a couple of minutes. It will add strengthening to your nails. There are some products in the market which can level the imperfections and fine ridges, thereby offering a smooth surface to apply nail paint.

Step 5:

Now the time has come to apply base coat. To get a square look, you need to paint a straight line on the tips and to get a round look, try following the curve of nails. Several manicure kits contain sticky strips to be used as a guide.

Step 6:

Lastly, pick a shell-pink, translucent nail color and apply a coat over your nail for sealing the whitened tip and for finishing the look. Let it get dry for about 10 minutes. To add extra protection and shine, apply a glossy, clear top coat.

Thus, it was all about doing a French manicure, which definitely is an easiest and perfect way to carry out at the comforts of home. You can even add some swanky designs to make it appear more hot and sexy. So try out these steps & make your nails and hands gorgeous like you are!
