How to get sage green micro french short square 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 straight across the top, then soften the two corners with one light stroke so they don’t snag.
  3. Apply a sheer, glossy nude base.
  4. With the thinnest liner brush you have, paint a hair-thin sage green line right on the edge of the nail.
  5. Clean the line so it hugs the tip evenly on every nail.
  6. Seal with a glossy top coat.
  7. Massage in cuticle oil to make the manicure look salon-fresh.

Pro tip: Micro French lines are 1 mm or less — a striper brush with very little product gives the cleanest result.

Sage green micro french nails: FAQ

What is a micro French manicure?

A French manicure with an ultra-thin tip line. It looks minimal and polished and suits short nails especially well.

Are square nails good for short nails?

Yes — square is the strongest shape for short nails. Softly rounded corners (squoval) keep it from catching on fabric.

Does sage green nail polish suit my skin tone?

Olive and forest greens suit warm and olive undertones especially well; sage and mint soften cooler skin.
