When I first purchased all my items I googled like crazy. Also look for tutorials on youtube. If you type in Gelish, they have a bunch of individual ones as well as the official Harmony tutorials. I ended up sticking with RCM, because it's cheap and conveniently easy to find here in Northern California. The Gelish info is interchangeable with the RCM system. And the thread for beginners here is excellent.
Looks great! I don't know if this will help or not, but Ink gel polish has an art line of SOG. they have a white SOG that comes with an ultra fine brush that should help with a french Manicures. Here's the link to their website.

Looks perfect to me!
That's pretty cool, I wonder if its same consistency and regular gel polish hmm..
I think it looks great! Much better than I could do! I just bought White Hot, so one of these days I'll have to try my hand at a French.
Very nice! Doesn't look like your first time. And the more experience you have, the more you'll like your handiwork.
Thanks ladies! Sorry, I can't figure out how to quote right now. 
I did on painting the smile lines but I really struggled with the white hot color. I had to shake it a lot (which I hate doing because of the bubbles) and still had to do two coats to get even coverage. What a pain!

I received the RCM gel polish starter kit with the portable led light. I followed the instructions and after wiping off the tacky layer some of the polish came off on the lint free wipe and the very tips of my nails all the polish came off. Do you think I need to stay under the light longer then what the directions says? Or is the portable light crappy? Thanks Guys

JMO, but I'd say yes, the portable light is crappy. Even the "Pro" light didn't last me a year and didn't cure very well. I'd return that light because that isn't cured.
