French tips that look salon-done, without a steady hand
You don't paint the line. It's already etched into a small metal plate – you lift it off and press it on, and the tip comes out crisp.

It's stamped, not painted
The hard part – a clean, even line – is done for you by the plate.
Paint your base
Any nail polish colour you already love.
Pick up the tip
Brush stamping polish over a French tip on the plate, scrape it flat, and press the stamper down to lift the design.
Press it on
Roll the stamper across your nail and seal with top coat. The tip transfers whole, with a clean edge and no wobble.
Honest note: your first nail or two can take a couple of tries while you get the feel for it. After that it's quick.
One plate, ten French looks
Classic tips, chevrons, half-moons and more – all from the Pardon My French plate in this kit.
People who thought they couldn't
“I'm new to stamping, but I have found this plate easy to use. It gives me that classic elegant look in no time! I have a few other plates, but this one has quickly become my favorite.”
Anonymous customer“I had given up french looks because I could never get the stickers to work right. Once I was able to adjust my stamping technique (it is a little different) I am now able to do French manicures again, but with ease!”
K.“I bought this plate and ended up letting my daughter to take to college because she loved using it. I missed it so I bought another one. It makes it very easy to do a french tip.”

Before you order
I can't paint my nails neatly at all. Will this work for me?
That's exactly who it's for. You never draw the tip – it's already etched into the plate, and you transfer it. Expect a couple of practice tries on your first nail while you get the feel for the stamper.
What's included, and what else do I need?
The kit includes the Pardon My French plate, Bam! White stamping polish, Smudge Free Top Coat, a clear stamper and a scraper card. The only thing to add is a base polish in any colour you like.
How long does shipping take?
