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.
