Hi Ladies!

Here’s a really simple, elegant, fun manicure. It requires a bit a patience since there are a lot of layers, which always means tons of drying time in between applications. I do think the look is worth it, given the final results. I absolutely just love the clean look of a matte updated french.

You’ll need the following for this manicure:

• Samoan Sand by OPI
• Liquid Leather by China Glaze
• Seche Vite Top Coat
• Matte About You by Essie
• Scotch Tape
• Small manicure scissors, I use these

Start with 2 coats of Samoan Sand and let completely dry. Tape like so.

Add a coat of liquid leather and immediately remove the tape.

After the first layer of black has set, tape like so and add another layer.

Add a coat of Seche Vite

Once completely dry, finish with the matte top coat
