A French manicure is a style of polishing the nails wherein white paint is applied to the tips of the fingernails, and the rest of the nails are given a pink coat or painted with sheer polish that is colored either pale pink or very light beige. The French manicure is very good for short nails and nails that have a moderate length. The French manicure gives the nails a clean, well-groomed appearance.Many women go for the French manicure because of its simplicity and the natural look that it evokes. Apply a coat of base over your nail to strengthen the nail. This leaves a smooth surface to apply nail polish. If you want your nails to look square, paint a straight line across the tip, along the tip of the nail for a rounded appearance. If you want your nails to look pointed, paint from the sides towards the center.
