Inspiration: The Beauty Department
Base: Essie’s Ballet Slippers
Am I the only one who finds DIY French manicures impossibly difficult? Over the years, I’ve bought at least a dozen packs of these drugstore nail guide stickers to try to master the perfect clean tip, only to experience a dozen frustrating fails. The polish never peels off just right, you know?
Solution? Ditch the polish and draw the tip color with a permanent marker.
If you goof, you can carefully clean things up with a small brush and rubbing alcohol.
I’ve wanted to give this DIY mani a try for the longest, and I finally gave it a go last night. I couldn’t find a Sharpie around the house, but the permanent Bic number I scoured from the kitchen junk drawer did the job. Next time I think I’ll use a gold or silver Sharpie!
Note: I didn’t have much luck with a topcoat; the black smeared when I brushed the polish over it. The Beauty Department suggests a topcoat, so maybe be sure the marker is completely dry before applying or skip it altogether.
Thank you for sharing your thoughts!

Wow, that’s a good idea! I can totally relate: all those DIY tape French Manicure nail videos on YouTube look SO easy, but they’re n-o-t. The nail polish never peels off right, just like you said!

I like it!!!
They turned out great
How simple! I love the idea… I wear black so often this is a great way to incorporate black on my nails without painting them entirely! LOVE
You can also use drafting dots (found at craft stores with the drawing supplies), they’re just like little painter’s tape dots used by architects!

Why didn’t I think of this?!
What are the curved stickers that you use to create the “tip”?
They’re stickers made for using as a guide when painting on French tips. You can find them at most drugstores!
Really nice!
This looks amazing!
