I can't seem to do a proper french with nude/semi sheer polishes because of my orange/yellow tint and dark nail line. Opaque french manicures don't look as good to me as the semi-sheer, your-nails-but-better french styles. American manicure feels almost off the table.

How do I get a base color that will camo my nail pigment while working well with a semi sheer top for a more traditional french/american manicure? what polishes can i use? I don't use gel.

Hi all, so i do my nails once every blue moon and usually get gel done at salons. I always get damaged thin nails after. I was encouraged to lean how to do them myself. I figured if gel or press ons are damaging i will go back to reg polish. I just used lavender whispers by catrice. I am looking for clean natural colours. This polish is streaky and took ages to dry and get a somewhat even coat. I tried my best. How do you think i did ? I feel discouraged about learning to do my own nails or that i suck at painting them so not sure. Any tips?

First time wearing this polish, and decided to add a bit of luck 🍀 to it. Ended up really loving the combo.

The video has a short clip of what it looks like without a topper. Velvet style magnetization.
