Here's a step-by-step tutorial for French Manicure with a gemstone nail sticker to give the look a little extra something. Tutorial is done by Asami from Nails by Asami blog,

Here's a closeup of the gemstone stickers; they're shaped to fit my smile line nicely. There are ten stickers in each pack, two of each size to fit all your fingers. Each pack costs $3.75 from Esther's Nail Center. These were super easy to use; I just placed them on and was good to go. I love gemstones for adding a little bit of "jewelry" to simpler looks.
Here are what you need:
- 1 French Natural Pink: Adoree Romantic Pink #223
- 1 French White Tip: Adoree Pure White #150
- French Manicure Guide Sticker
- Gem Stone Nail Sticker
To begin, place your guideline stickers against your nails.
Paint past the stickers with the included white polish; do two coats to reach full opacity. For more in depth tips on getting a perfectly crisp line I'd like to suggest the Polka Dot French Tips video I previously mentioned just because I've already visually demonstrated my personal tricks there so I won't be going over them again in this post.
Add a coat of the nude-tinted clear to blur imperfections on your nail bed and give your nails a healthy sheer glow.

Add your gemstones or stone stickers like I used and apply topcoat to finish.
