As beauty salons remain shut along Australia’s east coast due to Covid-19 lockdown restrictions, a shopper has revealed how you can get the perfect French manicure at home using a $9 Amazon product.
The beauty influencer who goes by the name ‘Nailz Kat Kat’ online swears by using a silicone nail stamper to add the small touch of nail polish onto the tips.
She demonstrated how to use the affordable buy in a now-viral video that has been seen by millions.
French tips were popular in the 90s – but in 2021 the trend has made a comeback – as young women use pastel colours rather than the traditional white.

French tips were popular in the 90s but in 2021 the style has been recreated as women are using pastel colours rather than the traditional white
In the video the woman applied a small amount of ‘baby lime green’ nail polish onto the silicone disk then gently dipped each fingernail onto the stamper’s soft surface.
‘It really is this easy, it took less than five minutes – I love the results,’ she wrote in the short clip.
The green colour matched well with her fingernails that had already been painted a soft pink colour.

Earlier this year an Australian beauty expert and YouTuber also praised the simple nail hack to achieve a professional-looking manicure at home – but used the tip of her finger rather than the Amazon product.
Chloe Morello said the ‘genius’ trick for getting coloured tips at home works perfectly for short nails and is ‘so easy compared to freehand or using nail tape’.
To try Chloe’s hack for yourself, all you need is a base coat clear nail polish, the colour of your choice for the tip, some acetone, a lip brush and a top coat of nail varnish.
You can also add sparkle or glitter if you want to make your manicure look even more professional.

‘How genius is this nail hack? I saw it somewhere and knew I needed to try it for myself,’ Chloe posted on Instagram.
‘To try it for yourself, paint a little bit of base coat over the surface of your nail, and then paint some colour onto the top of your finger in a straight line.
‘After this, press it carefully onto the top of your nail so that you get a little French tip.’
Following this, Chloe said you should coat the entire surface of your nail with a top coat.
Then, you can ‘jazz’ up your manicure by adding gold foil or glitter over the top of an extra swipe of top coat.
Finish with a final top coat, taking care to go over your tip for ‘extra longevity’ and healthy nails.
You can also tidy up any mistakes using acetone on a lip brush.
How to do a French tip manicure at home
Chloe shared the simple six-step method on her Instagram profile (pictured)
1. Paint base coat over your nails one by one.
2. Paint some colour onto the top of your index finger in a straight line and press it carefully onto the top of a nail on your opposite hand so you get a little French tip.
3. Go through your nails one by one doing this and then apply a top coat to every single nail.
4. Swipe a little extra top coat over half of each nail and gently add gold foil or glitter.
5. Seal with a final top coat, taking care to go over your tips for ‘extra longevity’ and healthy nails.
6. You can tidy any mistakes using acetone on a lip brush.

Recently, the beauty influencer (pictured) raved about a $24.95 mascara that promises to offer voluminous lashes in a matter of seconds
More than 30,000 people who saw Chloe’s trick were impressed, and said this is set to change how they do their manicures at home.
‘This looks so expensive and gorgeous,’ one woman posted.
‘100 per cent trying this at home next time, thanks for posting,’ another added.
Others said they would no longer fork out upwards of $60 for a French manicure at a nail salon.
