How to Apply Sheer Nail Coat for a French Manicure

Hi, I’m Lillian with Salon de Scottsdale and on behalf of expertvillage.com we will continue on with our home nail French manicure. As you could see we completed shaping the white tips on our nails with the nail brush and the nail polish remover. We are now ready to apply the shear natural look to the base of your nail. Now, with this you’re not going to want to apply this on the white part that you’ve just painted. You’re going to want to apply this sideways, get too much you just take the excess off on the bottle and apply it sideways. This gives it a more natural look, it has a little pink base to it and it just looks more skin colored. As you could see I’m going sideways and I’m avoiding the white coloring at the tip. I’ll just continue applying this to all ten of my fingernails and then we’ll continue on with the top coat.
