Recreate this double french look 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 in a straight line toward the center and round the tip softly, like the top of an almond.
  3. Apply a sheer nude base.
  4. Paint a thin deep plum French tip.
  5. Paint a second, thinner deep plum line parallel to the tip, 1–2 mm below it.
  6. Clean up both lines and seal with top coat.
  7. A drop of cuticle oil at the end makes the photo-ready difference.

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

Deep plum 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.

Are almond nails strong?

They are stronger than stiletto because the tip is rounded, but the narrow tip is more fragile than square. Medium length with gel or builder gel is the sweet spot.

Does deep plum 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.
