The Indie Girl’s French Manicure
Jenny Longworth, Revlon's UK Nail Ambassador creates an exclusive nail art design for GLAMOUR.com at the Isle of Wight Festival 2012: so if you're more punk than prep, ditch your white tips for the indie girl's French Manicure. Follow Jenny's steps to success.
Nina Simone LaurieJenny says: “This look is perfect for festivals because it’s quite grungy. You don’t have to be too neat with it. It’s the indie girl’s version of a French manicure.”
STEP ONE: Apply a base coat

Nina Simone Laurie...Saturate your Concealer Brush in acetone, and while the colour is still wet just bleed it into the nude. You don’t have to be too fussy, just get an organic tie-dye effect.

And strike a pose...
