This girl loves to get her nails done, but going every 1-2 weeks can empty the wallet.

Things you will need:

3.white nail polish
3. French light pink polish

4. Small Brush (or Q-tips)
5. Nail file

7. Cuticle remover tool
If your need to fix your shabbiness...
generously apply cuticle remover cream to feet and hands.
Let sit for a couple of minutes and push back cuticles with the tool.
Wash hands and feet and rub clean with polish remover.
Paint...
Using white Polish paint the tips of your nails.
It doesn't have to be neat or in a straight line.
I recommend starting with your less dominant hand first.
See? Not straight...YET
Get ready...
Dip your brush or Q-tip into polish remover
In a sweeping motion...
Shape polish on each nail..
let the curve of the brush shape the polish
thumb and Index finger have been Shaped
other need to be done
Paint on the light pinkThen the clear top coat...and

Looks awesome! Unfortunately, I have the world's unsteadiest hand! You're my hero! I'm actually afraid to paint my own fingernails!
I agree with the above commenter. I wish I could pull that off!
thank you for this--i SUCK at giving myself a french manicure because i'm preoccupied with getting the white polish on evenly. i never even thought of erasing it with a brush. i want to do my nails right now :)
Wow awesome. I, too, have quite unsteady hands, but I will definatly try again. haha ;)
