Step-by-Step: How to Create the Perfect Makear French Manicure
1. Prep the Nail
- Perform a Russian or dry manicure for clean, push-back cuticles
- Shape and buff the natural nail
- Cleanse with Makear Nail Prep and apply Ultra Bond
2. Apply Base Layer
- Use a thin coat of Makear Rubber Base Nude or Builder Base Nude
- Cure under LED/UV lamp (60 seconds)
3. Build the Nude Structure
- Apply a second layer of nude base and build a soft apex
- Use a brush to smooth the surface and let it self-level
- Cure and refine if needed
4. Add the French Tip
- With a fine nail art brush, apply Makear Milky White Gel on the free edge
- Paint a soft smile line or faded white tip depending on the style
- Cure for 60 seconds
5. Blend for Baby Boomer (Optional)
- Use a small sponge or brush to blur the white into the nude base for a soft ombré effect
- Cure again to lock in the fade
6. Seal the Look
- Finish with Makear Top No Wipe for a high-gloss, scratch-resistant shine
- Apply Makear Cuticle Oil for a nourishing final touch
Pro Tips from Makear Educators
- Use Milky White over a builder apex for an even brighter white tip
- Pair Gel in a Bottle Nude with Milky White for fast French overlays
- Avoid over-curing the Milky White to preserve its soft semi-sheer look
- Always work in thin layers for better control and longevity
From the Makear training tutorials: Creating a “reverse French” (starting with the tip and filling in the nail bed) can help perfect smile lines with less cleanup.
