step 1: apply a coat of your preferred essie base coat and with a striping brush dipped in a-list, polish a curved smile line along the moon of each nail.
step 2: using the striping brush and the brush in the bottle polish the rest of the nail with the same shade to achieve an empty moon manicure.
step 3: rinse your striping brush and using blanc, polish another wider smile line along the tip of the nails to create a french manicure.
step 4: finish with your preferred essie topcoat.
