• STEP 6: Remove all the guides. Dissolve leftover adhesive by rubbing it gently
with a cotton swab dipped in alcohol.
• STEP 7: Apply two coats of the neutral polish, letting the first coat dry before the
second application. Finish with a thin layer of base/top coat.

Tips & Warnings

• Limit neutral polish to one coat if you find that a second coat is too opaque.
• If the classic french manicure is a little too conservative for your style, make your
own color combination. Instead of neutral and white polishes, use red with black
tips, red with gold tips or white with silver tips.
• Give yourself time to practice. It may take awhile to get the hang of applying the
tip guides. The point of an orange stick may help you position them.
• Keep your hands very still as the polish dries to avoid denting or smudging it.
