- Hi Guys!! Today I am bringing all you nail artist loving ladies a fun tutorial that is simple and extremely classy. Hope you enjoy!!
- Step 1: First I started with the base color Julep Renee. I used two coats for even coverage.
Step 2: I then placed nail polish striping tape onto my nails. What makes nail polish striping tape helpful is that it is not as sticky as normal household tape. You can still use normal household tape and cut it into thin strips but it will be too sticky on your nails and the polish may come off with the tape. What you can do is stick the household tape onto your hand or shirt so that it loses some of its stickiness before you put it on your nails.
- Step 3: I placed two stripes of the nail striping tape onto my nails.
Step 4: I then applied Julep Daphne on top on my nails.
Step 5: The trick about using nail striping tape is that right after you apply the top color you want (in my case Daphne), you need to immediately remove the nail striping tape before Daphne dries. If you remove the tape after Daphne has dried you will also remove the polish with it.
- Well, that’s it! A nice topcoat and you’re good to go. Enjoy.
