Welcome back to my blog!
Today I want to explain how to make French 3D.
Let’s begin!

What’s this

French 3D is a decoration that creates an effect of shadows and depth, made like a French manicure.

Products

I start immediately by saying which products I recommend to use.
Since you have to build several walls, I do not recommend using the gel.
I have tried several times to use it, but the results are bad.
Even using an harder gel, the wall will never be well defined.
I recommend instead of using acrylic, or polygel, as I did.
The realization will be much easier and faster.

Sculpting

I will help myself with a fake hand.
After having made opaque and prepared my nail, I create the nail, of the shape and length I want.

Pink wall

We must therefore work with a deep reverse French.
So I build my first wall, with pink polygel.
Once cured, I carefully define the shape.

Color

After that, I apply the color on the wall that has formed and I also draw the usual French smile line.

Clear wall

Once the color has been cured, I cover it with transparent polygel.
I make sure to cover the color and create enough thickness, to be able to file it.
I polymerize and define again the shape.

I repeat the steps

So we have to repeat the same steps, until we are satisfied with our work. It is recommended to use light colors, in order to make the shadow that is created more visible.

Structure

Certainly once all this is finished, the structure will be thicker than it should be.

So let’s file the nail surface.
We have to be careful in order not to file too much, otherwise we risk eliminating the color, ruining the nail art.

Once all this is done, seal and the design is done!

You like it?
Don’t worry if you don’t get it on the first try, it took me a while to figure out how to make and which products to use, and it still doesn’t come perfectly.
Certainly with practice I will improve and for sure you too will succeed.
