Stripes

Stripes are probably one of the most simple things you can do with your nails! But they never fail to impress. Yes, you can just use a nail pen but they may not be straight! These tutorial shows you how to get stripes with tape!

 These are the materials you need for this tutorial. In the picture I have masking tape, scissors, two different colors of nail polish, and top coat.


 First with your scissors, cut the masking tape into 4 even pieces. You can do 3 if you want bigger stripes.

 Next, paint your nails with your base color.

 Next, put the nail on your nails so you can see a stripe pattern. The masking tape will cover the pink. It is very important to make sure that your nails are completely dry before you tape them or else your polish will come off with the tape!

 Paint over the masking tape and let it fully dry.

Pull of the tape when the white is dry. Paint over your base color and you are done!
