Frequently Asked Questions
Can I use regular nail polish instead of gel polish?
Yes, but the design may not last as long and may chip more easily. Gel polish provides a more durable and long-lasting finish.
How long will this design last?
With proper care, gel polish designs can last up to two weeks without chipping.
Is it difficult to create straight lines?
Using striping tape can help you achieve perfectly straight lines. Alternatively, practice with a fine-tipped nail art brush to improve your precision.
What if I don't have a UV/LED lamp?
You'll need a UV/LED lamp to cure gel polish properly. Air-drying polishes can be used, but the effect and wear will be different.
Can I add glitter to this design?
Absolutely! Adding glitter can enhance the sporty look and add a touch of sparkle.
Where can I find striping tape?
Striping tape is available at most beauty supply stores or online retailers.
