The new year is here and I've been trying to find new and creative ways to do my nails. It was just last week that I stumbled upon a picture of this super simple yet gorgeous reverse French manicure Jennifer Lopez wore at the premiere of her latest film, Parker. The classic off-white and nude shades gives it such a classic and polished look, while the reverse style adds a fun modern flare. The best thing about this mani is that it can literally go with anything you wear, which totally works out for me considering I've been so indecisive about my clothes these days.
Anyone can do this reverse French manicure at home. Check out a few of my quick and easy tips below!

Step 1: Choose your nail shape. This style looks great with any shape, but I'd personally prefer to go for a natural, round shape like J.Lo's. File and buff nails, then apply a base coat, like Essie First Base Coat ($8) to help extend your manicure.
Step 2: Apply two coats of a white or off-white polish to your nails. I like China Glaze Nail Polish in White Out ($7).
Step 3: Wait a few minutes for nails to dry, then apply a thin strip of tape at the base of your nails and paint two coats of nude polish above that point. The tape will help keep your lines neat and precise.
Step 4: Remove tape and then apply a fast-drying top coat, like Seche Dry Fast Top Coat ($8) to prevent chipping and peeling.
Step 5: Now have fun with your manicure by adding some chic rings and stacked bracelets to keep the focus on your beautiful your hands!
