DIY Manicure: Take your French Manicure From Drab To Fab

Mani-Madness

This isn't my best DIY manicure, however, when I actually take my time to do it right, which I didn't, it comes out pretty nice!  This is an easy way to give your regular french manicure more oomph!

First:

Prep your nails with by applying a base coat and allowing it to dry.  Then, use french manicuring tape or scotch tape (I used scotch tape) to isolate the tips of your nails.

Next:

Paint the exposed part of your nails and allow them to dry for 5 minutes or so.  Your nails should be mostly dry but this will depend on the nail polish you are using. I used 2 coats of Icing[Chase Me]. It's a matte turquoise color.

Last: 

Remove the tape and apply a thin line of black nail polish above the turquoise color.  Then, apply a thin line of silver nail polish above the black and let your nails dry for another 5 minutes or so before applying a clear topcoat. That's it, you are done!  For the black and silver colors,  I used Kiss nail art polish.  It has a very think brush used for nail art.  You can find these at any beauty supply store and some drugstores.

Hope you liked this and that you give it a try.  Use your favorite colors and come up with you own color combination!
