French Manicure!~ (First real attempt)

Hello, Everyone!   Today I have the classic French manicure to share with you.  After doing it two different ways, one way on each hand, I have discovered how to do a French manicure right.  At least with the colors that I have and the technique that I use.  Anyway!  Too much talking!  Here are the pictures.

Colors Used:

• Orly: Sweet Blush
• OPI: Alpine Snow-Matte

Right hand method:

1.  Base coat.

2.  Use 1 coat of "Sweet Blush".

3.  Paint tips white with "Alpine Snow-Matte"

4.  Paint TWO more coats of "Sweet Blush" over the entire nail.

5.  Top coat.  

Left hand method:

1.  Base coat.

2.  Use 1 coat of "Sweet Blush".

3.  Paint tips white with "Alpine Snow-Matte"

4.  Paint ONE coat of "Sweet Blush" over the entire nail.

5.  Top coat.

Winner:  Left hand!  (If I had to pick, because both methods aren't right.)

"Sweet Blush" is streaky and thin.  So you really need 3 coats to make it look even in color.  But putting two coats of "Sweet Blush" over the white tips covers the white too much so you barely see it.  SO.  What have we learned?  Use two coats of "Sweet Blush", then paint the white tips, then add ONE more coat of "Sweet Blush".  BAM!  Done.  Perfection~

Everyone, enjoy your night, I know I will. :D :D :D
