Soft French Tips 2 Ways | Gel Nail Art Tutorial | Gelous Gel Nail Polish

Welcome to Gellar's Nail Art Tutorials. Today I'm going to show you how to create the perfect soft French two ways. Once you've completed your nail prep on either your natural nail or nail tip, apply your base coat. Then you're ready to add the nail art. Tap the information icon on the top right hand corner to watch our full application tutorial to see these steps in details. When you're ready, let's get started. Method one uses regular polish from start to finish, no builder gel, so it's the quicker option of the two. Start with a clear base coat over clean prepped nails and cure for the 60 seconds. Apply one thin coat of French kiss over the entire nail and cure again. Load up your liner brush with just white and paint a curved line along the smile line of your nail. Start at one side, curving towards the middle with the mirror on the other side. Then fill in this area. You could also use the silicone nail stamper if you're struggling with the French tip freehand. Cure for 30 seconds. Then apply a second coat of French kiss over the nail including the white tip you've painted. This is the step that blurs the hard edge of the white into the soft diffused line. Cure for 60 seconds. To finish, apply one thin coat of the milky top coat over the entire nail. This gives the look an extra soft milky glow instead of that hard French line. Cure for a final 60 seconds, then apply and work in cuticle oil and that's this method done. No builder gel required. The second method using builder gel is still super easy to achieve. Start by painting your French tip over your base coat. Load your liner brush with just white and follow the smile line in a curve starting at one side and sweeping towards the center of the nail. Mirror on the other side to finish the tip and fill in. Cure for 30 seconds. Next you're going to apply your builder gel over your French design. For this look I've chosen milky pink. Start by applying either a thin layer and building an apex or applying two to three thin coats of the builder gel. This is what will create the super soft look of the French underneath the builder gel polish. Next going in with a medium liner brush just make sure your builder gel is nice and even and is wrapping around the sides of your nail as well. Cure for 60 seconds. Finally we're going to top this off with a layer of our milky top coat just to create again that super soft blurred look. Apply in a nice even thin layer and cure for 60 seconds. To finish off the look take your cuticle oil and apply and work into the cuticle area. So there's two easy ways to create the perfect on-trend soft French manicure.
