Step-by-Step Tutorial
Let’s dive into the detailed process of creating these gorgeous bronze French tips inspired by Jennifer Coolidge’s Emmy look. Follow this comprehensive guide for a flawless finish!
Step 1: Nail Preparation
Start by shaping the nails into a medium almond shape. This shape is modern and complements various hand types. Use a nail file to create an even edge, ensuring that the nails are uniform.
Step 2: Base Coat Application
Apply OPI GelColor Stay Classic Base Coat to the nails. This step is crucial as it will protect the natural nails and ensure that the gel polish adheres properly.
Cure the base coat under a UV/LED lamp for 30 seconds. Proper curing is essential to achieve a long-lasting manicure.
Step 3: Color Application
Next, apply two thin coats of OPI GelColor in Bare My Soul. Make sure to apply the polish evenly and avoid thick layers to allow for proper curing.
After applying the first coat, cure the nails for another 30 seconds. Repeat the process for the second coat, curing once more.
Step 4: Top Coat for Base
Once the required color coats are on, it’s time to seal them with one coat of OPI GelColor Stay Matte Top Coat. This top coat gives a sophisticated matte finish.
After applying, wipe the nails clean using OPI Expert Touch Nail Wipes to remove any sticky residue from the curing process.
Step 5: Creating the French Tip
For the French tips, apply one coat of OPI GelColor in Worth a Pretty Penne. Be precise with the application to ensure a clean and crisp edge for the classic French tip look.
Step 6: Shimmer with Chrome Effects
After the French tip has cured, apply one coat of OPI Chrome Effects No-Cleanse Top Coat specifically on the French tip. This top coat gives a glossy finish that enhances the shimmer.
Step 7: Adding the Bronze Effect
Using a sponge-tipped applicator, apply OPI Chrome Effects in Bronzed by the Sun on top of the Worth a Pretty Penne color. Rub the powder gently onto the French tip to create that sun-kissed glow.
Be sure to use a cosmetic soft brush to carefully remove any excess powder, ensuring a clean and polished look.
Step 8: Final Top Coat
To finish off, apply one thin coat of OPI Chrome Effects No-Cleanse Top Coat over the entire nail. This final step locks the design in place and provides a beautiful shine.

With these simple steps, you can achieve Jennifer Coolidge’s stunning bronze French tips just like her celebrity manicurist Temeka Jackson did for the Emmy Awards.
