How to perfect a French tip

Apply chosen base colour.

Place three dots as a guide in a triangle.

Using a striper brush, draw two lines to join up the dots.

Apply a horizontal line across the nail, creating an upside-down letter A.

Draw the smile line, and curve the ‘corners’ of the letter A to round off the shape.

Fill in and refine the smile line until you’re happy with the overall look.

Add a top coat to finish the look.
