Hi, I have booked a course for CND L+P conversion in braintree on Wed. I can't say how good the training is yet, but I have spoken to the trainer who was really lovely...I asked about 1-2-1 Training which they do, have a look at the web site! I thought it was very good value, the class sizes are small so you may not need 1-2-1. Hope this helps. Good luck! (Creative Nail Design)

hiya, relax , i think thats one of the most important things when doing french mani, lol
some white polish (i think cos the pigment) can be quite thick and hard to move where you want it to go,
there is a polish thats been recomented on hear time and time agen it is by essie and the color is marshmallow i have to say it is grate and very thin and easy to aply ,
the trick you wear talking about is done useing and old paint brush and polish remover, or scrubfresh that kind of thing, painting your white on then cleaning up the smile line with the old brush diped in the scrub fresh,

other thing that could help would be to trim your polish brush to a slight angle, hope this helps C x

Hiya :green:
I never thought I could do a good french manicure but then I discovered this amazing forum :green: In the last couple of weeks I have been practising on my hands and feet and did my first proper pedicure last week and the smile line looked great, its a great advertisement for clients as well as I am wearing it the moment. There is a video linked on one of the other posts on here but I could not find it, but basically it shows you to paint the white line on and then tidy it up using a small brush, like an eyeshadow brush and dipping it in CND scrubfresh/nailfresh or acetone/nail polish remover. My brush is like the one I have linked below but smaller and I got it from superdrug it was about £2.00. Its great!!! I like the fact it is curved as well, the one on the video wasn't curved.
Hope this has helped If I find the video then I will post it for you.

I have to say my French mani's have improved greatly since I started using Essie's Marshmallow. It's literally the BEST white I've ever used. Good luck!
