FAQs
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.
