Love a French Manicure Do It Yourself

I'm not a huge fan of the French manicure as seen on most women. I prefer a shorter, rounded nail (versus, long, squared-off nails) and I don't love a bright white on the tips. I much prefer a subtle color on the tip.

But that's just me. You can choose whatever colors you like and how short to cut your nails when you do your own French manicure at home. In this article, "The French Manicure: How to Do It Yourself at Home," I show you in step-by-step format how exactly to do your own manicure at home.
