What is a French manicure?
Before we get started right away with our 3 tips for a perfect French manicure, it might be helpful to begin with what it is.
A French manicure is a specific style of nail care that emphasizes the natural appearance of the nails. Characteristic of this style is the white nail tip combined with a nude or pink base. However, we also love a colored version of the French manicure, so definitely don't be afraid to experiment.
This look gives a neat, well-groomed, and elegant appearance and is popular for both everyday use and special occasions.
Now that you know what a French manicure is, it's time for our 3 French manicure tips.
Tip 1: This is how you make the perfect white border!
There are different ways to apply the white nail tip. Use, for example, the Manicure Stick, or 'French Liner' from Herome:

Press the bottom button a few times and the white liquid comes up. The pointed tip allows you to draw a line very precisely. Follow the curve of your nail for a natural effect and the perfect half moons like we see in the French manicure to be used to
Do you have an unsteady hand? We've got you! Stick the Nail Stencils just under your nail edge. Then go with the special white paint of Herome over your nail edge. Also go over the stencil a little bit so that you cover the entire nail edge properly.
For full coverage, apply two coats with the same white paint. Voila, you have beautiful white nail edges! The perfect start for applying a French manicure yourself.
Tip 2: Choose a natural color

In addition to a radiant color, this nail polish also strengthens your nails. This prevents them from becoming weak or cracking. As a second step, apply the nail polish over the entire nail, including the white edge.
