  • Nail polish remover
  1. Apply a base coat to protect your nails.
  2. Apply two coats of your chosen base color and allow to dry completely.
  3. Apply striping tape in desired stripe pattern, pressing firmly to avoid polish bleed.
  4. Carefully paint over the tape with your accent color.
  5. Immediately remove the striping tape while the polish is still wet.

Expert Tip

Ensure the base coat is completely dry before applying the striping tape to prevent lifting and smudging. A quick-dry top coat is essential for a smooth, long-lasting finish.

Frequently Asked Questions

Can I do this design without striping tape?

Yes, you can use a very fine nail art brush and a steady hand to create the stripes freehand, though striping tape provides more precise lines.

What's the best way to prevent bubbles in the top coat?

Apply thin, even coats of top coat and avoid shaking the bottle vigorously.

How long will this design last?

With proper care, this design can last up to a week or more.

Can I use gel polish for this design?

Yes, the same techniques can be applied using gel polish, curing each layer under a UV/LED lamp.

What if I don't have a fine nail art brush?

You can use a toothpick or a dotting tool to create thin stripes, but the lines may not be as crisp.

What's the best base color to make the stripes stand out?

Nude, pastel, or light neutral colors work best as a base to make the stripes pop.

Aftercare Tips

  • Moisturize your cuticles daily with cuticle oil.
  • Avoid picking at the polish to prevent damage to your natural nails.
  • Use a gentle nail polish remover when removing the design.

Safe Removal

  • 1.Soak a cotton ball in nail polish remover.
  • 2.Press the cotton ball onto the nail and hold for a few seconds.
  • 3.Wipe away the polish, repeating as needed.
