NOTD: Basic French Manicure

Today's Nail of the Day look features the Kiss French Manicure Kit for natural nails! This is my current favorite kit for French manicures at home. I find with this, I can usually do a better job than many salon nail artists I've come across.


Only one nail? Well, I have to say the rest didn't come out quite as nicely as this one, so I decided to just show off this instead! French manicures require a LOT of work and even more patience, which I don't always have. I understand why many women resort to fake nails... it's so much easier!
The entire Kiss French Manicure Kit includes a white tip polish, a colored polish, and a clear top coat, along with tip guides and instructions in a handy storage case that clicks shut. I love it! And it only costs about $5-6 in stores - you're usually lucky to find one polish for that price.

Stay tuned for more NOTD features! ...As soon as I get around to re-painting my nails.

I typically end up freehanding the white rather than using the guides. It's pretty easy once you get the hang of it.

Really? Very interesting - I've tried before, but it's hard with long nails. Unless you have them, too, in which case you need to share your secrets with me! :)
