Before you make a French pedicure on your legs, you need to make a standard preliminary preparation: to steam up your legs, to remove rough skin, to move the cuticle and give the desired shape to the nails. Only after this it is possible to proceed with the application of the French coating:

  1. Degrease the nails with a nail polish remover or acetone solution.

  3. Wait until the paint is completely dry. After this, you must decide whether you will use a stencil for a French pedicure or draw a strip of yourself. If this is your first French pedicure, use a stencil. Stick the stencil so that it covers the entire nail except the tip. Should remain about 2-3 mm. Apply on it a varnish of white color.
  4. If you still decide to draw the line yourself, use the most thin brush of all that you have available.
  5. Draw along it a thin line (again 2-3 mm) along the edge of the nail. The resulting irregularities can be rubbed with a cotton swab dipped in a liquid to remove varnish.
  6. After the tip of the nail is dry, apply a fixing varnish. Everything, the French pedicure is ready.
