Creative Nail Design has some great tech tips on using french white tips, and maintaining them. The easiest way I've found to use them is to pre tailor them by filing the well down. (CND's web site has a step by step, and there is probably a step by step tutorial on this site, if you look for it). You don't want to blend after you have applied the tip as this will cause your smile to waver or it will make them completely disappear. If the tip is thicker than you like thin it and shape your smile before you adhere it to the nail plate. This is useful when using fiberglass, so that you don't have to make your apex quite as thick. Hope this was helpful.Supertalons said:Hi, I am a fairly new Nail Tech and have never used French white tips!, the ones i've got have a half well, do i need to blend?! Please help!!!
