Step-By-Step: the New French Manicure

Ring in another fabulous year with a black and gold festive nail design that even a nail beginner can master.


1 Before applying any long-lasting coloured polish, apply a clear base coat. This acts as a foundation for your nails and will help the polish go on smoothly.

 

 

 

2 Apply a single coat of black, long-lasting nail polish. Let dry.

 

 

 

3 Cut 10 very thin strips of tape and place over each polished nail, at a vertical angle, allowing for a tiny bit of space in between.

 

 

 

4 Apply a gold-coloured, long-lasting nail polish to the section in between the bits of tape. Follow this routine for each nail.

 

 

 

5 Repeat the first 4 steps on the other hand and when both sides are fully dry, apply a clear top coat to seal and protect.

 

 

 

There you have it, now you’re ready for any party!
