How to Do Red French Tip Nails
To transform your red French tip nails you need a few simple steps to follow.
- You need to start with freshly cleaned up and tidy nails, without any dust residue. Brush them off properly to make sure you have a clean and smooth surface to work with.
- Select your base color – to achieve the classic look, natural beige color tones work the best, but you can experiment also with milky white nail polish or natural shades of light pink.
- Once you’re done with your base color and let it dry properly, its time to create the design.
- To create the French tips, you would normally use stickers that would outline the area you need to cover in red. You need to be careful to place those on roughly the same spot on each nail, so the size of your red tips is the same on all your nails.
- Once you’ve got that measured up and the nail stickers in place, you can grab your red nail polish and get creating. The longer the nails are, the longer you can usually go with the French tips too.
Red French tip nails are one of the first nail designs most ladies experiment with, as they are easy to achieve at home and look like they’ve been done at the nail salon.
If you’re doing them the first time, give yourself plenty of time to practice to achieve the perfect look.
