How To Do a Flawless French Manicure When You’re Lazy AF

Whenever I think of a French manicure, the word “timeless” always comes to mind. It’s a classic nail look for a reason, and pairs well with anything and everything. When done right, the simplicity of the design is beautiful, elegant, and chic AF. But drawing the perfect white tip is no easy feat, which is why most of us tend to cut our losses and go the professional route instead.

That said, despite the fact that DIY French manis are challenging AF, they shouldn’t be shied away from. In fact, with the right tools, giving yourself a flawless French manicure is easier than ever.

Allow me to introduce to you BTArtbox’s 3-in-1 Soft Gel French Nails. With this innovative, at-home gel manicure system, you can get the perfect French mani in 20 minutes or less—which is perfect for the lazy girl or woman on-the-go. Keep scrolling to learn all about BTArtbox’s 3-in-1 French Nails, and why they’re the perfect weapon for getting a flawless French manicure when you’re lazy AF.

About BTArtbox’s 3-in-1 French Nails:

What are they?

BTArtbox’s 3-in-1 French nails give you the perfect gel manicure right from the comfort of your own home. Each nail tip’s patented with BTArtbox’s 3-in-1 soft gel system, which includes soft gel tips, a tip primer, and a base coat. This technology is what puts these nails on par with salon acrylics and super easy to wear. To apply, all you need to do is prep your nails, match the nail tip sizes accordingly, glue on, apply a top coat, and you’re good to go!

Additional notes:

Each set comes with 300 nails total and 15 sizes to choose from
4 length options: short, medium, long, extra long
4 shapes: square, coffin, almond, oval
Pre-colored and pre-painted nail tips
Fully customizable—add designs or keep as is

Where to buy:

These nails retail for $25 on the BTArtbox website, and the code ‘flawless’ can be used at checkout to save 15%! You can also buy these off of Amazon for $27.

Why I love the BTArtbox 3-in-1 French Nails:

As a self-proclaimed press-on nail junkie, I’ll admit that I’m a tough nut to crack; I don’t get impressed easily. This is especially true for any French manicure design. I wore this style for my engagement, and since then, it’s been hard to find French manicure press-ons that measure up.

With that said, believe me when I tell you that these nail tips are unlike anything I’ve tried before. They absolutely blew me away and left my jaw hanging on the floor. Seriously—they’re that good. My favorite thing about them is their design. They’re so soft and super flexible, which makes them both easy to apply and wear; working while wearing BTArtbox’s 3-in-1 French nails is a breeze. Also, the 3-in-1 soft gel technology makes them less likely to snap and pop off than your typical rigid acrylics. Likewise, I also love how beautifully they wear; they look so natural, blend in with my cuticles seamlessly, and look absolutely stunning after the top coat.

Additionally, I’m also a huge fan of the price point. For just $25 (or less if you use the code ‘flawless’ at checkout!) you can easily get 4 or 5 manicures out of the entire box of 300 nails. That’s waaaayyyy friendlier to your wallet compared to taking a trip to the nail salon or buying press-ons in-store or online. With BTArtbox, you truly get your money’s worth, and a salon-worthy mani to boot.

How to apply BTArtbox 3-in-1 French nails:

Another added bonus about these nails is that they can be applied using two different methods: without an at-home gel system, and with an at-home gel system.

How-to without a gel system:

Prep your nails by removing the extra cuticles, filing, and buffing as needed; be sure to remove any excess dust and oils with an alcohol pad. From there, match the nail tips accordingly with your natural nails and set aside. Then, apply nail glue to the base of the nail tip, and apply at a 45° angle to the base of your natural nail. Hold for 30-60 seconds, and repeat until done. Finish with a top coat and you’re good to go!

How-to with a gel system:

This method is guaranteed to last the longest out of the two. It’s slightly more involved and requires additional items, but it’s worth it IMO.

Prep your nails by removing extra cuticles, filing, and buffing as needed; be sure to remove any excess dust and oils with an alcohol pad. Then, apply BTArtbox nail dehydrate for maximum adhesion
Match the nail tips with natural nails
Apply BTArtbox 4-in-1 gel nail glue on natural nails. Then, apply to base end of nail tips, and apply to natural nail at a 45° angle. Hold and press until glue reaches the free edge, then press down while simultaneously flash curing under UV lamp for 15 seconds
Cure for 60 seconds under UV lamp to ensure nails are fully dry
Apply a top coat, and you’re good to go!
