  • Base Coat
  • Two Contrasting Gel Polishes (e.g., Black & White)
  • Ultra-Thin Striping Tape
  • Fine Liner Nail Art Brush
  • High-Gloss No-Wipe Top Coat
  • LED/UV Curing Lamp
  1. After prepping nails, apply a thin layer of base coat and cure. Apply two thin coats of your primary base color (e.g., White gel polish), curing each layer thoroughly.
  2. Once the base is completely cured and tack-free, carefully apply ultra-thin striping tape in your desired pattern (e.g., parallel vertical lines), pressing firmly to prevent bleed.
  3. Using a fine liner brush, apply your contrasting stripe color (e.g., Black gel polish) precisely over the exposed areas between the tape lines. Ensure even, thin coats.
  4. Immediately after applying the stripe color (and before curing), *carefully* peel off the striping tape using tweezers to reveal sharp, clean lines. Cure this layer fully.
  5. Repeat stripe application for additional layers or colors if desired, always curing after tape removal. Ensure each stripe is razor-sharp for the photo-real effect.
  6. Finish with a generous layer of high-gloss no-wipe top coat, ensuring it encapsulates the entire design smoothly. Cure for the final, brilliant finish.

Expert Tip

Achieving photo-real stripes demands patience and precision. Ensure your base color is fully cured and tack-free before applying striping tape to prevent lifting and ensure the sharpest possible lines. Work on one nail at a time for optimal results.
