french manicure?
everytime i try to do a french manicure, it always ruins, especially on my right hand, since i am right handed. Does anyone know any tips to make my french manicure better?
get a friend to do it. i have the same problem.
Just practice.
You can get the curved smile line tips to keep the rest of your nail from getting painted when you're painting the tip.
Or you could try the new french manicure pens :-) They're about $10 by themselves, or $20 for the kit (with base and top coat and the tinted clear coat).

take tape like scotch tape or these strips that are for manicures (you could probably get them at walmart or a drug store) and put them on your nails. it really helps! i use them all the time!
I've come to avoid french manicures b/c they don't last very long. Now when I get my nails done, i get a light pink color, generally one that's used for french manicures. The manicure lasts longer b/c there's no bright white polish to chip off. Also, if you have your nails a little bit longer, it really doesn't look all that different from a french manicure. It's also cheaper too. You can save a few bucks b/c the manicurist doesn't have to do the detailing.
I really like the nail colors by Essie, or the light pinks by O.P.I.

Does an airbrushed french manicure last longer than hand painted?
I've gotten a hand painted french manicure before but it always chips on the first or second day. Will it last longer if I get it airbrushed on, or is it exactly the same? I disagree with people who say that a french manicure lasts just as long as a solid color. I have no idea why, but the white portion is very fragile. How can I get a long lasting french manicure, without keeping the tackier looking permanent french I have right now?
airbrush definantly last longer!

I was very disappointed and touched them up myself. First, how often does a person regularly get french manicures, second is there anything u can request to hold the color, and third please offer me some extra maintenance and care tips.
How can I do a good french manicure by myself and make it look good?
I have done french manicures on myself all the time. But everytime I do it, the white tip is always uneven and sloppy. How can I get a professional looking manicure without going to the salon?
At beauty stores they have french manicure stickers that you put on your nail before you put the white on. It is foolproof.

Is there any ways i can do french manicure without skrewing it up at, other than geting them done?
Getting a Perfect 10
If you're never quite happy with your at-home manicure, don't blame your skills with the brush. The condition of your nails and cuticles makes all the difference. The most common manicure mistakes to avoid are:
Mistake 1:
Filing nails in the wrong direction. Sawing back and forth with your emery board and going too deep into the corners can split and weaken nails. The fix: Holding a fine emery board at a slight angle to the nail, file from left corner to center for a few strokes, then from right corner to center. Smooth with a fine metal file.
Mistake 2:
Neglecting cuticles. Rough, ragged cuticles can lead to painful hangnails. The fix: Brush cuticles with a rich oil after your morning shower and before bed. Let oil soak in for a minute or two, then rub into cuticle. "Oil penetrates better than hand cream," says Viner.
Mistake 3:
Cutting cuticles. Nipping away at your cuticles invites the risk of infection. (Your cuticles act as a barrier against bacteria.) The fix: In the shower, gently push back cuticles with a washcloth (the steamy water helps soften them).
Mistake 4:
Skipping base coat. Polish on bare nails can dry out the nail plate; and without a base coat, dark shades can stain nails or leave them yellow. The fix: Brush a moisturizing base coat on clean, dry nails; let the base coat dry for a few seconds before applying polish.
Mistake 5:
Leaving polish on too long. This, as well as too many layers of polish, dehydrates nails. And once polish begins to chip, it can peel away a superficial layer of the nail, too. The fix: Remove polish after five days; wash hands to rinse away remover, which can also be drying.
Do-It-Yourself Nails
8 tips for a flawless manicure.
Tip 1:
Check your polish. Old polish can become clumpy and thick, causing uneven application and bubbles. If your polish has become thick, add a few drops of polish thinner to the bottle and shake well. (Note: Don't use nail polish remover to do this!) Or treat yourself to a new bottle.
Tip 2:
Start with clean nails. If yours have traces of lotion or cuticle oil on them, polish won't stick evenly and will chip more readily. Use a cotton swab dipped in alcohol or nail polish remover to clean the surface of nails before you paint.
Tip 3:
Begin with a base coat. A base coat smoothes out nail ridges, and allows polish to go on more evenly. A base coat also protects nails from becoming stained when you wear dark polish.
Tip 4:
Watch your brush. As you remove your brush from the bottle, carefully wipe one side of the brush along the bottle's neck. This removes excess, bubble-producing nailcolor.
Tip 5:
Apply in minimal sweeps. Apply color from cuticles to tips in three swipes: One in the middle, and one on either side of the nail. You may need to use more strokes, but keep in mind that the fewer sweeps of color, the more even the result.
Tip 6:
Clean up as you go. It's inevitable that you'll wind up with some polish on the skin around your nails. Use a wooden nail stick to quickly swipe away the excess as you go.
Tip 7:
Finish it off with a top coat. A top coat seals the polish onto your nails and gives a high-shine finish (which can camouflage streaks or small bubbles).
Tip 8:
Allow ample drying time. Set aside at least an hour of hands-off time for nails to dry. And remember that while they may feel dry to the touch after that time, nails can still be tacky and more prone to nicking for a few hours afterward.
