How to perfect a French tip
Step by Step
Magpie brand partner, Kelly Scothorn of As Pretty As Nails By Kelly, shows how to perfect a French tip.
Step 1
Apply chosen base colour.
Step 2
Place three dots as a guide in a triangle.
Step 3
Using a striper brush, draw two lines to join up the dots.
Step 4
Apply a horizontal line across the nail, creating an upside-down letter A.
Step 5
Draw the smile line, and curve the ‘corners’ of the letter A to round off the shape.
Step 6
Fill in and refine the smile line until you’re happy with the overall look.
Step 7
Add a top coat to finish the look.
