DIY Gel French Manicure Tutorial

I have recently expressed my fondness of soak-off UV/LED gel polish. Following the basic steps of applying gel polish as described in my previous tutorial (HERE) this stunning french manicure can be achieved at home with a few basic products and a steady hand.

I used the same products as in the previous tutorial with the addition of Precision's Base/Top Coat and white soak-off gel polish (available from Planet Nails).

The instructions below are very vague so I recommend that you read my previous tutorial (which is very in-depth) if you are new to gel polish.

STEP 1 Push back cuticles, lightly buff nails and apply nail prep.

STEP 2 Apply a coat of Precision Base/Top Coat and cure under a UV light for 2 minutes (or 30 seconds under an LED light).

STEP 3 Apply a white Precision gel polish to the tips of your fingernails. This is where a steady hand is very beneficial. Cure under a UV light for 2 minutes (or 30 seconds under an LED light).

STEP 4 Either apply another layer of the Precision Base/Top Coat and cure or apply Ezee gel polish in a light pink or nude shade like I did and cure under a UV light for 2 minutes (or 30 seconds under an LED light). I applied another layer of the pink polish and cured it again.

STEP 5 Wipe nails with finishing liquid.

STEP 6 Admire your "handy" work!

I think I'll buy a new pair of shoes with the money I just saved not going to the salon to get my nails done!
