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
