Here is what i usually do. 1) I went to Target and got a manicure set. It had just white and natural color paint. The only difference is the white paint had a small brush .

2) My dad got me some Acetone (what they use at the salon) from Home Depot. I painted half my nail white then got a small brush, dipped it in the Acetone and made a neat line. Make sence? That's what the pros do.

Good luck

Answer 5

get tape and put it close to the end of your nail and paint the end part with white nail polish then remove it and you have a french manicure.

then add a clear coat to make it shine..

Answer 6

go to wall-mart and they have a kit that helps and works really well

Answer 7

ooh, i am soo good at this!

go along the natural "smile line" created by the white part of your natural nails.then if that is crooked or too short or something, touch it up. you should drag the brush across the nail to create the tip. make sure you dont have too much paint on your brush too.

when you go over it with a clear coat it looks 20x better too!

Answer 8

It might not be easy to do yourself but the way my nail salon does it - paint on the white - more than you want - then take a special paint brush dipped in nail polish remover to remove/shape the white nail polish to look how you want.

Good luck!

All you have to do is go to the store like Wal-Mart and they have a French Kit and it comes with white nail polish and a set of like french nail stickers and you put it as low as you want to and paint it on top of it that's all it is really simple if you want a different color you are going to have to buy it separately.

peice of paper and cut it out to your nail shape and right where the light part of your nail meets the end of it cut that part odd and paint over it
