Abstract

A system and method for self-applying a French manicure using an adjustable form includes positioning a base member over a user's finger so that the nail is located within a nail receiving opening. An outer edge of a shield member wall is positioned at a position relative to the nail receiving opening to expose the tip of the nail. A first paint type is applied to the exposed nail tip using an applicator means. The first paint type is a water-based, non-toxic acrylic paint and the applicator means atomizes the paint to apply a plurality of droplets to the exposed nail. The shield member is repositioned relative to the nail receiving opening to expose the entire nail surface. A second enamel nail paint type is applied to the exposed nail surface to seal the first paint type.
