The steps are as follows-

Step 1-

Before applying nail polish, prepare your hands and nails. Exfoliate your hands by giving them a good massage by using a small amount of body scrub. Rinse with water and dry properly before going any further.

Step 2-

File your nails. In case of brittle nails, keep them flat over the top. Choose a nail file that has a fine surface. This will glide over the nails very easily.

Step 3–

Coat the nails with sweet almond oil. This will nourish them. Wrap the nails in a warm cloth for 15 minutes. Rinse hands with warm water and dry thoroughly to removes all the residues of oil.

Step 4-

Apply a single coat of base nail polish over the entire nail and allow it to dry completely for a few minutes. This will strengthen your nails. Choose the best base coat from a huge range available in the market.

Step 5-

Next use the pink polish to paint the nails. Sticky strips are also included in some French manicure packs to guide you well and give a neat finish. For a square look, paint straight and for a round appearance, follow the curve of the nails. Leave it to dry for some minutes.

Step 6-

Finally, apply the translucent shell pink nail polish to the entire nails to seal the whitened tip and also to complete the look. Allow it to dry for at least 10 minutes. For extra shine and protection, apply a clear glossy top coat.
