That is, the skin and cuticles should be well-groomed, there should be a beautiful shape of the nails, and no burrs. If you talk directly about the tools, you will need:
- a set of varnishes;
- nail files;
- means for processing the cuticle;

Many manufacturers of hand care products, realizing the popularity of the French, decided to facilitate the task for women and began to produce ready-made sets for the French manicure. This set already contains all the necessary accessories for creating this popular manicure.
We do manicure at home
The first thing you need for an ideal French jacket is to do a classic manicure. "Wet" manicure is more familiar, but in recent years, special popularity has earned the unedged or European manicure. The main difference of this manicure from the classic is that the cuticle is removed, but is shifted. Since the use of cutting objects is excluded, the European manicure is safer and non-traumatic, painless and practically excludes the possibility of infection.
The procedure for creating a French manicure is as follows:
- We give nails the right shape with the help of special nail files.
- We apply a means for softening the cuticle and leave it for a couple of minutes. (At "wet" manicure the hands should be lowered into warm water, into which liquid soap or soda is added).
- With the help of wooden sticks we move the cuticle away. ("Wet" manicure provides removal of the cuticle with the help of small nippers or scissors).
- We put a basis under a varnish on fingernails or nails, in advance processed by a degreaser.
- When the base dries, denote the border of the body of the nail and its tip with a template.
- We put on the tip of the nail a white lacquer and dry it.
- After removing the template, the nail body is covered with a transparent or beige lacquer.
- After the varnish dries to the entire surface of the nail, we apply a fixer to achieve gloss and strength.
- The finishing touch of the entire procedure is the application of a nutritious cream.
Some ready-made sets for the French manicure contain a special pencil designed for tinting the tip of the nail. Such a pencil will be useful for emergency care, when there is no time for applying and drying the varnish. Of course, the strip applied with a pencil is durable, but it looks very natural.
By the way, there are variants of the French manicure by applying not only natural, but also colored varnish. For example, if you like red, you can safely use it. Such a color is good for short nails. On long, it looks great any shade.
To color French manicure looked appropriate, the colorail should be in harmony with the color of your skin. An excellent option, when french-matches the color of clothing, but this is not entirely practical due to the frequent change of clothes. Therefore, preference is best given to classic colors. But if you get the experience of applying the French manicure at home, so that this procedure will take you a little time, you can create your own unique manicure according to your clothes and always look fashionable and beautiful.
