How to Create Nails with Black Tips

French tips are one of those nail designs that’s pretty easy to create at home, with a bit of practice.

start with a clean and polished nail, to avoid any dust or mess getting onto your painted nails
paint the whole nail with a neutral base color, such as beige, light pink or light white
using nail artist stickers, place them on the nail right under where you want to paint your tips – this way you will have a clean and defined line when you paint your tips with black nail polish
the next step is creating those tips – simply use any black nail polish to go over the tips, be careful not to run over the stickers into the base color
once you’re done, seal the whole masterpiece with a layer of a clear nail polish
