Supplies: - Base and accent polishes of choice. I used Ulta Wild Night for the base and Sally Hansen Celeb City for the tips - Striping tape in any color (I bought mine on ebay, just search "striping tape" if interested) - Scotch tape or painter's tape - Scissors | |
Step 1: - Apply desired number of coats of your base color - Allow polish to dry completely! | |
Step 2: - Once the polish is dry, apply a piece of striping tape a desired distance from the tip. | |
Step 3: - Place a piece of scotch or painter's tape a desired distance from the striping tape. | |
Step 4: - Paint the tip of the nail with the accent polish, making sure to cover all tape free areas of the nail | |
Step 5: - Carefully remove the scotch tape NOTE: Do not wait for the polish to dry, remove the tape right away. | |
Step 6: - Remove the striping tape to reveal the double lines - Add a top coat and you are done! NOTE: when doing a full manicure, paint and un-tape one nail at a time. Doing multiple nails at a time will increase the chance that the polish starts to set and the tape will not come off cleanly. |
