Answer 2

u can do what the first person said, i personally think the strips are to hard what i do is get the 100% acid tone and a tiny flat brush then just paint the tips of ur nails then with then dip the brush in the nail polish remover and make the straight line :) its much more easy

Answer 3

You can use clear/white, but some like a light buff color on the base of the nail, and a cream color on the tips. There are kits that you can buy (Sally Hansen nails) which have strips that you place across the tips, both colors polish (with some variations) and instructions. It just takes some patience. There are also some videos on the Web, which can show you step by step.  

Answer 4

1.Remove old nail polish and file your nails into shape.

2. Apply a clear basecoat & leave to dry.

3. Using a neutral, pale shade that matches the natural color of the nail bed, paint the nails. Leave to dry. Wait 2 minutes, then re-apply.

4. Paint the naturally white tip of the nail with an opaque white or beige polish. In traditional French manicures, this white strip is straight across the nail, however, if you let the polish curve with your natural nail, your nails will appear longer.

5. You'll want to finish off the nail with a coat of clear polish. This will protect the layers underneath.

6. clean up any errors around the nail.

7. It will take a good 20 minutes before your nails are safe enough to do small things (meaning: use the pads of your fingers only). Wait a full hour before really using your hands.

You only use 3-4.  Base Coat, White Polish, Top Coat, and Red Top Coat.

You use the base first and then white and then clear.
