A clever French mani can make short, stubby nails
look longer and leaner. Simply place the white strip a little further down your nail (toward your cuticle) than usual to create the illusion of length. To take a cue from the catwalk, switch traditional pink and white for more unexpected combinations, like the natural nail trimmed with gold that Creative Nail Design created for Louis Vuitton (pictured).

Oh dear, I neglect my nails far too much. I'm going to start taking care of them, I've decided. The mani tips are great, I love the idea of gold tips!

I love this, takes me back to the late 90's when I used to do a hot pink & dark blue french, I loved using bright colours on my nails back then! although this one looks heaps classier then the ones i used to do!!

This look rocks, going to have to try it, might even give pink sapphire's hot pink a try for fun (maybe for the weekend).

Those nails look fantastic! I used to do my own manicures using white strips, but haven't done one in ages.
