French manicure tips?

Question

i was just wondering how you paint a french manicure. i am pretty good at it and i always get compliments but i read yesterday that some people will paint the underside of their nails white and then paint the top of the nail either clear or light pink. has anyone ever tried this? also do you like to use nail guides, because i personally hate them

Answer 1

Eww no. I wouldn't paint under my nails. Instead of using nail guides I found that using a q-tip soaked in fingernail polish remover works good for making a perfect line.

Answer 2

You can get these nail whitening pencils

They look kinda like eyeliner, I think Barry M does a good one

You rub it underneath your nail, and it looks white from the other side
