"I put scotch tape on the bottom half of my nails. Then, I paint the part above the tape with white polish. As soon as I paint all 10 fingers, I remove the tape, take a clear or sheer pink nail gloss and paint over the whole nail." --Penny, 17, Hammond, IN
"I use a white nail polish from a manicure kit and carefully paint the tips of my nails. Then, I dip a Q-tip in nail polish remover and clean up the mistakes. Sometimes, I go over the tips with a fun light color like pinkish-silver. Experiment to see what color you like!" --Paris, 16, Jackson, MS
"I use masking tape as a stencil so that I get a crisp white line. Just be careful to push the tape all the way down so that the white nail polish doesn't soak under it. And don't take the tape off until the polish is dry! Taking the tape off too early can smudge the polish." --Kylie, 16, Carmel, IN
"I use this kit from Sally Hansen that I got at Wal-Mart. It comes with a base coat, a clear coat, and a French manicure pen. It's so easy to use. I've even done my friends' nails for dances. It saves you big bucks and looks just as great!" --Kaylen, 18, Owensboro, KY
"All I need is tape, scissors, and white and clear nail polish. I trim the tape to follow the curve of my fingernail tips, stick the tape below the white part of my nails, and paint the tips white. Once I finish, I slowly remove the tape and wait for them to dry so that I can add a layer of clear polish. It looks like they were done professionally!" --Rachel, 16, Monterey Park, CA
"It's very simple. Get a very light pink color and paint it on your nails. Then, the secret weapon is WhiteOut. I paint a thin stripe at the top of my nail and--boom--they're perfect!" --Sara, 15, Grand Rapids, MI
"For a full-out French manicure, file and buff your nails, and massage cuticle oil into each nail. Then, take normal white nail polish (I recommend NYC), and make a thin stripe across the top of your nail. In a shallow dish, pour some nail polish remover and dip in a square-shaped paintbrush. Use the brush to wipe away excess polish until the white stripe becomes an even arc. Wait a few minutes for the polish to dry. Then, apply clear or sheer pink nail polish over the whole nail." --Rahath, 15, Sterling, VA
