Help with French tips

[Beautification]

I've done my level 2 nail services.. well i have infills left and i need help desperately..

In college we only ever used natural tips so i dont have a clue what to do with french tips.
do u file the well/contact area down like you do natural one's.. if you do then i'm stuffed as when i file contact area down it's never a perfect smile line so i fix it whilst blending but with french tips you can't exactly blend it etc can you.

Only thing i know about french tips is you file it all over to make it thin like u do every other one.

Any help or step by steps or video's would be great

Thanks kaye xx

usually you only tend to remove the shine from a french tip so that the overlay can grip to it, but you do not file it right down otherwise you will lose the smile line. file off the shine then carry on with your enhancement application xx

I think a well-less tip would be best for a french. No blending necessary and are a breeze to use. HTH and good luck!

Something else just popped into my head it is part of blending but you know when you get your white block and go over the tip when its bonded to the nail to get rid of the bump from the natural nail to the smile line on tip do you still do this?

With a well-less tip, you don't need any blending. Glue on the tip, then do your L&P. HTH!
