How to get cherry red double french oval nails at home

  1. Prep: push back cuticles, buff the shine off the nail plate and wipe with alcohol so the base coat grips.
  2. Shape: File the sides straight, then round the tip evenly so it mirrors the shape of your cuticle.
  3. Apply a sheer nude base.
  4. Paint a thin cherry red French tip.
  5. Paint a second, thinner cherry red line parallel to the tip, 1–2 mm below it.
  6. Clean up both lines and seal with top coat.
  7. Massage in cuticle oil to make the manicure look salon-fresh.

Pro tip: Paint the lower line first on all nails, then the tips — it is easier to keep the gap even.

Cherry red double french nails: FAQ

Is a double French hard to do?

It takes a steady hand. A long striper brush and doing the second line only after the first is cured makes it much easier.

What is the difference between oval and almond nails?

Oval tips are evenly rounded; almond tips taper to a softer point. Oval is more natural and a bit stronger.

Does cherry red nail polish suit my skin tone?

Blue-based reds and burgundies flatter cool and neutral undertones; on warm or deep skin, choose shades with a brick or brown hint.
