you can buy a great contour brush from any art supply store that can achieve the same results without spending a fortune. Acetone will destroy the brush. Plus, you don't want that brush on your eye after it's been exposed to acetone.
Hello - I don't know for sure over a long period of time but a few times won't hurt it. I've used my good makeup brushes before with the acetone and its fine.
I created a YouTube account just so I could say how awesome this method is! I have been trying french manicures for a couple of years. Usually I end up frustrated. I just did this method on my toes and it's AMAZING! I worried about the white running on the rest of the nail but that never happened. I used acetone (Target) and an eyeshadow brush. Honestly the best french manicure I've ever seen, including those done by professionals! And it was soooo easy!
Aside from not having any flexibility, lint from the Qtip will also stick to your nails. Use any small, thin paint or make-up brush that has a nice arch/curve top. Professionals use the brand O.P.I - I use Orly and Sally Hansen. I recommend spending at least $3-5 for a decent brand so it lasts longer. Have fun!
Do you wait for the white nail polish to dry before you put the brush on it? I tried it last night and the nail polish didn't come off the nail like your's did
Thank you so much for this tutorial! I m really curious to try it! I just need to find a brush I wish to sacrify. Apparantly I've already got aceton :)
Just an ordinary small kitchen sauce dish. You can probably find something similar in places like Crate & Barrel, Pier 1 or kitchen section in stores like Target, Walmart even a 99cent store in your area.
wow that was really good..but the acetone does it work better than nail polish remover or do they work the same...and can you use nail polish remover instead of acetone?
There are natural and chemically made Acetone. While it is not harmful on human skin contact, it will disolve on wood, fabric, plastic surfaces. The human body actually produces small amounts of acetone naturally. Learn more about it on Wikipedia if you have concerns.
No, you don't need long nails. The white tip will give the illusion of having long nails. Shorter nails works best. Also remember to keep the tip of your nails straight instead of curved or pointed. Have fun.
can you tell me what is the mark of you white polish, it look so easy to put, for myself i can past hours it not the same everywhere and it doesn't dry at all, i use the kit french manicure "bourgeois de paris"
thank's again i didn't think eather to use a pincel for clean, really good idea !!
Great idea! I will definitely give this a try.

you need to use a base coat other wise the nail polish will stain your nails.I can't believe she didn't say anything.

Never use a Qtip to contour your nails.
Aside from not having any flexibility, lint from the Qtip will also stick to your nails. Use any small, thin paint or make-up brush that has a nice arch/curve top. Professionals use the brand O.P.I - I use Orly and Sally Hansen. I recommend spending at least $3-5 for a decent brand so it lasts longer. Have fun!

Regular nail polish does not have the chemical necessary to desolve the white polish unlike 100% Acetone.

I use the brand ORLY but it does streak from time to time. The trick is to apply thin coats, one at a time and fan it if necessary.
