Erm you cant purchase it in a box. that's like asking where can i purchase bangs or pig tails and how do i apply them?





a french manicure is where the tips of the nails are rounded, the cuticles are pushed down and trimmed.





the entire nail is then covered with an opaque ivory coloured gloss.





A paris manicure goes one step further and paints the inner tips of the nails white.What is french manicure and i want to purchase it?
French manicure is usually a pink base for the nail with a white tip for the length of the nail we usually cut. It sometimes looks trashy but with a decent length it looks neat.





It's done with normal nail polish, choose a base that would lighten the hands and avoid pinks that darken the joints of the fingers [some have this effect and make your hands look beat up]. Buy some white nail polish and some base coat to prevent yellowing and some topcoat to protect from chipping. If you aren't finicky just buy some clear nail polish.





Doing the white edge is tricky especially if you have an unsteady hand. However, there are usually kits that sell the two colors of polish and some sticker guides so go for that.

It is a very classy and elegant manicure, with the base usually in a nude colour or pink and white tips. The nails are cut horizontally across instead of sharpening them to a point to slay vampires.





You can actually DIY at home using a french manicure kit. Sally Hansen has a cheap and good one, but make sure you have steady hands while painting the white tips across.





I do it myself sometimes when I have the time.





The look is best with shorter nails and not so long nails. Gives a very neat and polished look. =)
That is the type of painting of the nails hookers and porno stars like to wear in my opinion. It's trashy and low class. Try going natural. Nothing beats the real thing.
Any drugstore should have the French Manicure Kit available the the kit will demonstrate how to apply... it's very easy, kinda like a stencil.
