I want to get my nails done, but my parents this its a waste of money. So I want to do it myself I want to do french tips and I was wonderin how I should do it. How should I do the tips cuz I can never make it even? Do you think it would look ugly if I did two different colors on one nail like half one color and the other half another?

They come with the nail polish you need and strips to help you section off the colors (the white part on top, and then the clear/pinkish color on bottom). I also think it would look cool if you did two different colors. It would be different. [ ballerina04's advice column | Ask ballerina04 A Question ]

XxAnGeLEyEzxX answered Saturday August 27 2005, 3:57 pm: Alright , well i always do my nails as a french manicure or how ever you spell it :), heres some stuff that will help you:
stuff you will need:
Nail polish remover
Nail polish, which ever colors you want them to be, if you want the top to be white then get white ( it looks the best) then get the other color you want on the bottem.
Cotten swabs, 1 or 2
What you do:
First remove any nail polish you have on ( if you have any) , then paint your whole nail the color you want to be on the bottem, let it dry for a while... Then take a cotten swab and dip it in the nail polish remover then remove an amount you want the top color to be ( thats how you make it even), then paint the top, then repeat it for all you nails
