[tasha_adele]

Hi everyone im new to this website, just wondered if anyone can help, when doing a french manicure i use the tip guides but when peeling them off the white varnish has run and they look real messy i try to neaten them up but i know if i was a paying customer a wouldn't be happy...Any ideas??
Thanks

Practice, practice, there is a tutorial somewhere on here showing how to perfect smile lines with polish......Check the tutorials or search french polish ...

I wouldn't use the tip guides. It does take practice but it's so worth it to paint on the white tip freehand. What white polish are you using? I now use Essie's Marshmallow and I have no problems getting the perfect french with it. HTH!

The tip guides are more hassle when they're worth and it looks far more professional to freehand it. Its just plenty of practice with a decent enamel. I recently read Gigi's thread about the nailfresh trick and tried it - it works a treat! Great to tidy up any little wiggles in your smile line. :hug:
