BTArtBox gifted me some nails and supplies to get me right for the summer. All thoughts and opinions are my own.
I don’t know about you, but a $200 monthly mani-pedi is not in my current budget lol. So I’m skipping the salon this summer and continuing to do my nails at home. Here’s how I did these matching french tip nails and toes at home using my trusty BTArtBox nails. Check out my TikTok below for a beginner-friendly step-by-step nail tutorial.
You can grab everything I used to do my nails for the low here on Amazon. Also, BTArtBox usually does Prime Day deals, so start making those wishlists because Amazon Prime Day is July 8-11th!
The French Tip Nails I Used
I used BTArtBox’s brown base french tip nails to do this matching mani-pedi (they’re my favorite, especially their XL square version). For this set, I used their short square french tip XCoatTips and their square XCoatTip Toenails (in the longer length) for my french tip toes. The longer length version fits me perfectly. I tried the regular length in the past, and they were too short for my big toe.
Why They’re Worth It: The Math Be Mathing
I’ve been using BTArtBox nails for over a year now, and I love that they come with a lot of the prep work already done (you don’t have to apply primer/base gel, and the french tip design is done for you).
They have a good range of sizes too. Also, you get enough nails to do five manicures or pedicures from each set (for less than half the price of a gel manicure at the nail salon). The math is mathing! Here’s what I use to prep and apply these nails:
Builder Gel & Top Coat
To protect the french tip design and strengthen the nails, I used their french tip protecting duo. This is essential for doing gel nails at home, or making press on nails. I started with one coat of their builder gel, which I cured under their new XCuringPro nail lamp for 60 seconds.
Then I applied one coat of their top coat, which I cured for another 60 seconds.
Nail Glue & Adhesive Toenail Tabs
After I make my press on nails, I apply them with the Beauty Secrets Drip and Clog Proof Nail Glue from Sally Beauty. To apply my press on toenails, I use adhesive toenail tabs first (to help protect my nail beds) along with the nail glue.
