Paint your nails with a transparent base coat and let it dry completely. Wrap a rubber band right below the tip of your nail and stretch it from below with your other finger or thumb to keep it in place. Now, take your nail lacquer and paint the tip of your nail. Then take the rubber band off very carefully. This will give you a neat salon-like finish of a french manicure. Repeat the same with the rest of your nails and finish it off with a top coat to seal it in place.
