Red French Tip Nails: How to Get the Perfect Nail Manicure
A red French manicure is more challenging to achieve than it may look.
Most people have seen photos of them and think they could replicate them at home, but the nails don’t turn out quite right because the French tip itself isn’t red—it’s white with red along the edge.
This can make getting that signature white-with-red-on-the-edge look trickier than you might think.
That’s why we’ve put together this guide on how to get the perfect red French tip nails at home!
Red French Tip Nails
Nail salons are popping up all over the place, and it cannot be easy to choose the one you like the best.
If you want a French manicure with red tips, here is what your nail technician will need to do.
The nail technician will paint your nails with white polish and add layers of red polish.
Once the polish dries, they will use an orange stick, or cotton ball dipped in acetone to remove some of the white colors from your nail bed so that only a thin layer of white remains on top of your nail bed, making your nails appear natural but polished at the same time. The result? A stunning mani!
Use a Base Coat
Start by making sure you have a base coat.
This will help protect your nails from staining and discoloration as well as prevent chipping.
Next, paint on two coats of a red French tip. Why not try a pink French tip to see which color you like best? If you’re wanting something a little different, try a black base with a red French tip. Use two coats of black before adding on the red French tips.
Finally, add any acrylic tips you want with nail polish or other acrylic materials to create your own unique look! Let them dry for at least an hour, then put them on a topcoat to shine.
Color Tips
French manicures are often a perfect way to show your feminine side. Whether you prefer a pink and red French tip, black and red French tip, or acrylic red French tip, this is an easy nail look that will help you feel polished and put-together.
The most important thing about this type of manicure is how thin the coats are applied.
Applying too much polish can leave your nails looking streaky and stained.
To avoid this issue, wait until one coat has dried before applying another.
It’s also important to use the thinnest brush possible when painting your tips so as not to overload them with product. A few other ideas to keep in mind:
1. A clear coat is great for adding shine or protecting your nails from chipping. Clear topcoats come in many different brands and formulas, making them perfect for everyday manicures or special occasions.
2. You could get a neon, pink or red French tip color if you want that extra pop!
3. If you prefer something more daring, try painting black French tips on your nails.
4. Or try an acrylic red French tip so it will last longer than just a regular polish color.
