How to do a classic French manicure using soak-off gel polish. Visit this page on my blog for the list of products used in this video (list is right below the video). www.chickettes....
With the color that you chose on the base of the nail, this looks more like an American manicure instead of the French one. You did a pretty good job I'm impressed.
I absolutely love it! I’ve been wearing white tips for a long time and I’m still loving it! It’s very classy! You did a great job! Thank you sooo much! I can wait to try! 🤍
i would like to add that you do not use acetone but actually use alcohol to clean up the smile line because these are gel soak off so if you use acetone u can be breaking down the base coat that you already applied.
Phi Le i use acetone all the time. my customer's nails never get cheap. small amount acetone cant be strong enough to break down the gel undercoat. even some case it will but the top will cover it for sure. some people prefer to use acetone as it define the line sharper n quicker than alcohol.
Nice video. This is one thing I love about LED Gel Polish. Once I have a cured clear coat, I can do a quick swipe of acetone to wipe away accent colors (or perfect French White lines), without it having any effect on the gel coats below. I've done this many times, and the manicure lasted 3 weeks! It did not break down the underlying coats. It makes sense, since to remove a gel manicure, you have to buff through the surface of the final clear coat, and then SOAK in acetone for 10 or 15 minutes, to get that gel polish to budge.
Wow, your nails are so beautiful-lol, they almost looked french manicured when you didn't have any polish on yet. I bet people assume all the time that you have some kind of extensions on them.
Thanks soo much for telling us about using a alcohol wipe bc i sure was gonna try n find some expensive nail tech wipes for at home. This was very informative
Joanna R you do realize that there’s thousands of questions on all of her videos right? Not only that but this one has 22 likes so it’s not going to be too comment. Don’t assume negativity about someone.
@Barbie I'll try and say this in a nicer way since my last reply to you got deleted, even though it's seemingly okay for you to call me an idiot: please fk all the way off the planet. K thx bye 😉
@@LeeLooface hmmm funny how youre the one coming off as rude and offended because I was honest. I know how to form a sentence. Too autocorrected as top. Clearly. And yea. Don’t be a fucking asshole. Assuming someone is “too good” because you’re so entitled. You honestly think people really sit and read every comment? Especially when there’s literally thousands of them. Grow up and stop name calling when you get called out for being a jerk. Don’t you hate when someone calls you out on your pods poor mindset and you can’t handle it so your only thought process is to verbally attack? Do better.
when you clean up the smile line always use alcohol. acetone removes gel polish :) so it will start to break it down. the skin is fine to use is if you choose.
Are you feeling an unevenness when touching the finished nail with a french mani, considering that the free edge got two extra layers of gel and the rest of the nail doesn't?
arlene aguinaldo that's perfectly normal and each coat will stay sticky (although I wouldn't recommend touching them in between). The top coat will be sticky too until you wipe it with an alcohol pad.

True! It's much better to use alcohol as it won't affect the polish underneath.
Phi Le i use acetone all the time. my customer's nails never get cheap. small amount acetone cant be strong enough to break down the gel undercoat. even some case it will but the top will cover it for sure. some people prefer to use acetone as it define the line sharper n quicker than alcohol.

Just for future reference the lower the number the coarser the grit so the 100 is not the more fine, the 180 is
Nail goals 😍 how do you keep your nails so healthy & long ?
Dontcha hate when you ask a question and TH-camrs are too good to answer them? 😂💅

@@juli-hannah3569 what? Your comment doesn't make sense. Learn how to form a sentence and then maybe your point will become clear. Thanks.

beautiful nails, friend ❤️ cool idea👍💞🌷 I like 😊
Bonjour! Merci pour ce vidéo! Québec, Canada ici! 💅🏼👍☺️
Beautiful! I would've thought that going in with acetone to correct the smile line would mess with the base coat but I guess I was wrong!
Perfect nails. Great tutorial.
You have Beautiful nails the shape is perfect, love French manicures. Thanks for the vid now I want to try out gelish nail polish.
Its difficult way, you can use nail strip like tape
beautiful finish .please slow the video down.xx
Quiero ver uña por uña pintada, no todo el vídeo resumido
Cute I should try that with my gel polish set once I grow my nails longer and get white gel nail polish
You have beautiful nails!
when you clean up the smile line always use alcohol. acetone removes gel polish :) so it will start to break it down. the skin is fine to use is if you choose.
Yeah, that's a good idea!

That really depends on your preference. There are lots of sheer neutral colors that would work with a French mani.

She makes it look so easy! Lol
Nice
first time watching, you're video , and l loved it , you made it look so easy,,, thank you very much , I'm goint to give it a try
You have nice nails. So you don't have to wipe off the tacky layer off before you apply the polish? Thanks!
does the gelish polish you used hardens the nails. if not would you know one that does. btw love your nails
Which nail lamp you used ?
acetone... I reacted badly to it and lost a nail... its too harsh for those with sensitive cuticles and skin
Beautiful and very helpful! Thanks!
Are you feeling an unevenness when touching the finished nail with a french mani, considering that the free edge got two extra layers of gel and the rest of the nail doesn't?
Not really. The two coats of white are thin and the top coat self-levels. If you experience unevenness you can apply a second layer of top coat.

i like ur video
so eazy nice
Ur nails are beautiful God bless
Love it
I've tried this with a uv light but i think i screwed it up as after the curing the foundation, it was sticky. Is that normal?
arlene aguinaldo that's perfectly normal and each coat will stay sticky (although I wouldn't recommend touching them in between). The top coat will be sticky too until you wipe it with an alcohol pad.
