French manicure ideas



Today I am sharing with you 3 french manicure ideas, that are great for any time of the year, but I wanted to recommend them for the coming holidays. French manicure is very popular and universal. It can be done using different colors, not just the classic white tip.

All 3 ideas feature Gelish no chip gel polish, but they can easily be done with regular nail polishes.  The designs I am showing are extremely easy and can be done at home. You just need a dotting tool and french manicure brush.

   1. The first one is a classic french gel polish manicure. It features white tips with a flower accent on the ring finger. Perfect for a special occasion like a wedding or birthday.
The Gelish colors that I'm using besides the base and top it off are: Arctic Freeze for the white tip, Waterfield with glitter and Simple sheer (which is a clear polish with a tint of pink).


   2. The next one is a french manicure with red tips. I think it is perfect for Valentine's day or any other Holiday. I did red french manicure tips with a white flower (easy!) . You just need a dotting tool or tooth pick to do the flower. Draw the tips with the polish brush and if needed use a brush with alcohol or acetone on it to make the smile of the tip look even.

The colors I am using are - Gelish Red Roses and Sheek White. Sheek White is not as white as Arctic Freeze, which I am using in the previous look.

   3.  Red and glitter french manicure. This is perfect for Christmas. I just used 2 layers of red gel polish and french tips with glitter gel polish. this red polish is very shimmery , but not glittery. It is very classy red.

The colors used in this manicure are- Gelish - Queen of hearths (red) and Gelish -Waterfiels (glitter). 

This is all for today , I hope you like them !
There will be more nail polish ideas coming soon :)
