Here to simplify your polish French smile lines, All Season’s Nails’ Instant French Manicure Pen lets you apply white polish quickly and easily.
Dashing Diva’s French Wrap Plus has made it easier than ever to get that perfect smile line. The wraps are put on the nails using the easy application tab, and the ultra-thin French decal is left perfectly on the free edge, with smile line intact and free of brush strokes. The decoration can last after weeks of wear, and works best when combined with Dashing Diva’s Gelife Brush-On Glue and Soak-Off Gels.
Rumiko Nakaya, educator and advisor for Nail Labo, explains how she fixes smile line imperfections in gels.
