Let's create some really clean, effective manicure looks. For this tutorial, I'm going to be using Filter from our new, simple French collection. This is a beautiful, sheer pink that is buildable in colour and cool, undertones. So we're just going to start with two coats and curing for 60 seconds each. And this is going to give our perfect base for our French look. I'm then going to take my white detail paint and my long-liner brush and start to map out where I want my French to go, starting from the centre point. I'm going to drag that line out all the way down to the side walls. And once I'm happy, I'm then going to just outline the free edge cure for 60 seconds and then top coat your design. This negative space branch is a perfect alternative for that really clean look. Cure your top coat for 60 seconds and then finish off with some La La cuticle oil, just for that final French finish a classy, clean French look for this tutorial, I'm going to be using Cherie from our new simple French collection, and this is a beautiful semi-sheer, warm and toned pink. So I'm painting down my base, and I'm going to cure that for 60 seconds before going in with my second coat. And then again, a curing for 60 seconds, always making sure you cap the free edge. I'm then going to take my white detail paint and my metal dot and tool and place a simple little dot before taking my long liner brush and then bringing out those points to create that beautiful star. Now, because I want to keep this look as simple and as classic as possible, I'm only going to pull out my four points, and once I'm happy, I'm going to cure for 60 seconds before taking my hollo mirror silver and just centre point in that star. Now you could leave your design like that, but I'm actually going to take my long liner brush again and just pull that centre point out, just to give my star a little something extra, cure for 60 seconds and then finish it with your top coat, again, curing for 60 seconds. Here's the finished look I'm just finishing off with our La La cuticle oil. This is a beautiful classic design, and perfect for that clean girl aesthetic. For this look, I'm going to be using French kiss, and this is going to be one of our most popular colours. I can tell already. It's a beautiful milky pink, and can be built up in colour to be completely opaque. So just painting down my first coat, and then I'm going to cure that for 60 seconds before going in with my second coat, again, curing for 60 seconds. Now, because we're using Chrome for this look, we need to add our super shine top coat, so making sure that when you're applying this, it needs to be super smooth with no imperfections in the top coat, and cure for 60 seconds. I'm then going to take our shell Chrome, and using a small amount of that on our eyeshadow applicator, I'm just going to buff that into the cured top coat. These crumbs are amazing for giving that beautiful iridescent look, dusting off that excess. And then you can see here how absolutely stunning our Chrome looks over the top of this colour. So with Chrome, we want to encapsulate. So we're going to take our pure foundation clear. You can also use either a rubber base or complete base for this step, and just to seal everything in, focusing on that free edge, cure for 60 seconds, and then apply your top coat again, curing for 60 seconds. Finish off with your Ooh Laa Laa cuticle oil. And here is the finished look, a clean mirror finish with an iridescent pop of colour. For this tutorial, I'm going to be using Belle from the simple French collection, and this is a gorgeous milky almond nude. Now this is an opaque colour that looks absolutely stunning on its own, or as you can see here, paired with a French look. So I'm painting on my two coats of colour, curing for 60 seconds each. And as I say, it is a stunning colour on its own. So for me personally, I would love to leave it like this, but we're going to take our white detail paint and long liner brush, and I'm going to really carefully paint a centre line down the nail. We're then going to bring a curve point to the side wall of the nail, and then fill that in just with the white detail paint there. Take your time with this. You also want to follow from the cuticle, line up towards that side wall point and fill in all of that colour, making sure then that your curve is really nice and neat. We're then going to do that same pattern, but on the opposite side, at the free edge of the nail, bringing that curve from the centre point of the line out towards the side wall of the nail, and then filling it in with the colour. This is a really cool French alternative. I'm going to cure my. Detail paint for 60 seconds before going in with my top coat to seal everything in and again, finishing off, curing it for 60 seconds and a bit of Ooh La La Cuticle oil Here is the finished look. It's absolutely beautiful. As I say. This is an opaque colour that can be used on its own or with a French design. I hope you enjoyed this tutorial. Thank you so much for watching.
