Another thing I found helpful is to sponge the polish on instead of painting it over the stripes-it helps me so the polish doesn't get under the tape! 💜
For the half/half design, add two or three stripes next to each other to make the strip surface thicker and minimize the risk to go over to the other half :)
Here I am watching this 4 years after you made it and I'm SO happy I found it! I love the idea of striping tape for clean lines, but it's the bane of my existence. I was making all these mistakes. THANK YOU!
Aaahhh! Thank you! I'm just getting into nail art and I assumed you needed to let the polish dry completely before pulling up the tape. It somehow didn't occur to me that you really needed to do the exact opposite. Considering how gloopy nail polish gets it makes perfect sense now that it's been pointed out. Same with putting down a top coat on the base color so you don't pull it up. Thanks again! Now it's time to attempt these asymmetrical tricolor stripes once more.
Thank you so much for this video. I recently purchased a huge amount of tape that has a lot of different colors and patterns... And I've been a little hesitant to use it, afraid I would mess it up. But after watching this, I am a lot more confident. :)
I tried all these tape things when I was like 10/11 and I did everything you done in this video for the “DONTS” 😂😂😂 I always thought u had to let the polish dry a little bit before taking the tape off but I learnt something new today !!
Thanks I've watch nail tutorials before. I never even thought about using top coat before stripping tape. Great idea. You make it look so easy. I can't wait to try it.
I've always waited for the 2nd colour to dry! Ahhh ok . . . . .NOW I know why I kept getting those thick raised up lines after removing the tape! Thanks so much, need to go catch up on all your other bids now! Xx
Wow gabby, I love this video a lot because you've addressed everything that I do wrong! Your videos are way better than all those nail artists that have millions of subscribers! I hope you attain that fame one day too. Keep making quality videos like this. Much love from India 💖💖
Thankyou thankyou so much for this vid! I've tried striping tape in the past and it always mucks up as you've demonstrated on the 'Don'ts' which lead me to just give up on doing it. But bow thanks to this I'm confident in knowing that I can get it right and pretty! Now I know what I'm going to do for my next nail art!
So that was REALLY helpful. I did something using tape a few weeks ago and vowed not to do it again if it came out like trash. Thank you for keeping this video up!
I got this stuff in a kit for gel polish etc and had no idea what it was or how to use it 😅 this video is great! Thank you for the tips and showing how to use it!!
I have a question... when I add so many layers like the top coat in between colors... it becomes so thick that by the next day it peels off completely in one layer. How do you avoid that?
@@stellar783 Of course I haven't tried that, because I'm genuinely an idiot 😂 Thank you for the suggestion! I'll have to try it. I usually just use nail dehydrator
Just by watching this clip has made me realise what not to do vs what i should do when it comes to using striping tape for my nail art. Thank you so much. You’re a legend.
I have about 10 packs of striping tape that I don't even know where it came from and finally had a moment to figure out how to use it. Now to try... Thanks!
Now I understand why I was doing this wrong. I would wait for my nail polish to dry before removing the tape and it ended up looking nasty and not clean. Thank you for the tips!
Oh my goodness... You had so much patience to show what's wrong how it goes wrong all those steps just to show how it doesn't works right.. despite knowing the right way.. kuddos..👍
I get mine from Dollar tree/dollar stores. They usually ALWAYS have lots of different colors. I bought a few packs of each color that I liked. But, looking for how to use and some designs because u can keep them on with a top coat for a design also
Great vid. I have a question, how do you avoid the tape from FADING? I use regular nail polish. I did it all, dry coats etc, but after the top coat was on the striping tape started to fade. It was clear to see, since I chose green and the green turned a dull silver-like colour.
I had received 5 rolls of this tape in a art nail kit. I had no idea what it was for accept as an accent. The tape would come off and ruin the design. This is a game changer. Thank you.💜💙💚💛
Wish I saw this video when it was published! I was (now I learned the lesson because of you, Gabby)! because I was the silly one who waited too long & it LOOKED AWFUL! Also I NOTICED you took the tape off TOWARDS the WET color, another GREAT TIP yet not verbalized - I watched intently so a HUGE SHOUT OUT THANK YOU! I will do it again. Oh, Born Pretty finally has a USA store, so Most Items ship a whole lot FASTER, THANK GOODNESS!
Hey so I have a question, I like to use the LED nail polish, like the ones you put under the light to cure. And I was wondering if I do that do I have to put the topcoat over it? Because that would be a lot of nail polish. I wanted to know what you guys like because I’m honestly just curious.
Great video thankyou! I've been waiting for the polish to dry and then taking the tape off and it never goes well. Also I often end up with gaps because of not pressing it down properly too. Tweezers is a great tip!
If I’m doing something a little difficult / I’m just now very steady handed that day I put some liquid latex above the tape so it just peels off the mess up as well
I got some complementary striping tape when I bought some nail polish from One Off on Etsy. I had no idea what it was. I thought I had been given some kind of small record or chip for an old computer containing some kind of eldritch message from the '80s. Thanks for this tutorial. I'll be able to utilize this new tool now.
Hello!I have a question and I do need to answer me,please:I love nail art and I want to learn at home and for make a painting on gel polish I need a gel polish painting or can I make with a normal gel polish?Thanks!😘😘😘For stamping I saw it's necessary for gel polish stamping!
Someone may have already asked this but is it possible to use two or three strips right next to each other to make a thicker line so you don’t accidentally cross the line with the polish? Does that make sense? I’ve got two toddlers so I would never have time to paint it in with a small brush lol
Gel doesnt dry so I imagine it actually will be easier. You have as much time as you need to get the stripes to look nice and touch it up before curing
When iam makin an intricate design using the tape i try to like sweep a lil bit off from the brush. Like when u are painting a picture u dont just dip the brush in the paint and start painting instead u sort of wipe the extra paint off the brush by sliding it against the paint bottle. I use the same technique with nail art. If it is opaque i recoat the nail.
Its amazing video... I want try this... But i have one question... Can you tall me the tape name which one you are use in this video pls ...if possible for you.. you will share a link in this tape
Hi Gabby. Thanks for the tips. When applying top coat prior to using the tape, could you also use dry drops? Or is this something to avoid because of the oil it contains?
I love using striping tape so I can make detailed/thin lined designs but for like the last nail designed you did, I would’ve used plain old Blue painters tape so that I don’t waste my striping tape!! Lol I just cut off a nice long strip, and I don’t have to be super careful as I paint my nail since I cut the blue tape to be thicker than the striping tape😁
You said you let the nailpolish dry for about 30 minutes (and said that's quite long), but for some reason for me it takes way longer for it to dry. Usually it only fully dries after a day, before that I can slide it off my nail. Any tips? (I've tried cleaning my nails, using basecoat, but it's not working)
@@pinkemerald272 yes I thought that might be the problem, but how do I know which ones are good quality? Is there some simple way to figure out which are better than the ones I use?
Maybe try chilling your polish in the fridge beforehand? I live in a generally warm climate and even if I get my nails done at a salon they don't dry completely if it's hot out. So I always chill my polishes and it helps significantly with drying on my nails.
You should try putting your hands on really cold water (if it's possible including ice) after you paint your nails, and let it there for a few minutes. It really works!
I've found doing a clear coat over tape before the color paint prevented the color to bleed under the tape. *However,* I probably had bleeding because I was using just regular tape. I never thought removing the tape right away would be better. I always try to wait until its dry. (But like I said, I used regular tape, not actual striping tape).
Hi Gabby, I've learned so much from your tutorials, so thank you! I think you are so well-versed and knowledgeable, which makes it SO much easier for people who want to learn to do things themselves in order to save money, be more independent, and learn new things. Kudos to you!🙏
My mother was awesome, she did stripes withut tape she used to cut her own paint brushes. It was awesome. So awesome.. she also did pegusas and sunsets
Another thing I found helpful is to sponge the polish on instead of painting it over the stripes-it helps me so the polish doesn't get under the tape! 💜
ana 101 yesss! I completely forgot about that one💗
That's exactly what I do.. Paining over the tape has never worked for me
Wow great what a fantastic nail art i am a big fan of your channel

Watching a really thick opaque black nail polish go on is one of the most satisfying things.
Omg. Finally someone explained the waiting time between coats of nail polish and how to use the stripes. 👍

This was honestly hella helpful to a newbie like me. Lockdown got me into experimenting my nails and I’m having so much fun now! Thank you!!!💅🏼💕
I just want to say you are my FAVORITE nail artist on here
I got taught by a nail artist to let the varnish dry before moving the tape and it worked well.
I'm not even a major fan of nailart, but watching this video makes me want to try it out. This video was so satisfying to watch haha! 😂
I have a question... when I add so many layers like the top coat in between colors... it becomes so thick that by the next day it peels off completely in one layer. How do you avoid that?
Following this comment because I have this problem too
Have you tried using a base coat? That’s what normally keeps everything stick to the nail, also make sure it’s not a peel-off base coat
@@stellar783 Of course I haven't tried that, because I'm genuinely an idiot 😂 Thank you for the suggestion! I'll have to try it. I usually just use nail dehydrator
STELLAR! Yes I use one every time....
Nail dehydrator is also a good idea. I use it all the time, there's no lasting manicure for me without it.

Do you by some chance have a video on the same do's and don'ts for gel polish?
Great vid.
I have a question, how do you avoid the tape from FADING?
I use regular nail polish.
I did it all, dry coats etc, but after the top coat was on the striping tape started to fade.
It was clear to see, since I chose green and the green turned a dull silver-like colour.
Really so profetional and how clean
and perfect disign made by you. Beautiful 😍😍😍
I had received 5 rolls of this tape in a art nail kit. I had no idea what it was for accept as an accent. The tape would come off and ruin the design. This is a game changer.
Thank you.💜💙💚💛
You can also use the tape for designs and apply top coat to keep it on.
How did you get your nails to be so long and strong? You do great tutorials!!
I finally found my old roll after a year. I'm excited.
This is really helpful!! I got a whole selection of striping tape from a friend and trying to figure out how to make those cool designs. Thank you!

I have tried everything with the striping tapes and polish always gets underneath 😔😔 any advice would be appreciated. Thanks!
do it with a sponge it rarely gets underneath:)
Thank you.. It's really helpful
Does this work with gel polish as well?
Does this work the same with gel polish? I’m assuming I’d need to take the tape off before putting under the lamp 🤔
Brilliantly practical advice. I hope you're a teacher 'offline' too, you're very good at instructing.
You could also put liquid latex on the pink part of the nail to avoid black going on it :) (it also work with painting tape)
How do you preserve the nail art? Is this just regular polish? I am trying to avoid gel at al costs…
Thank you so much Gabby! I have been making these mistakes for years, and was unable to fix it, or have time to change it! Thanks so much!😉😊😁
I just bought my first ever striping tape so this was very helpful! Thanks!

How do you dry the nail so fast. What do you use to dry your polish?
I like your does and donts on nail tape..it learnt me alot..thankyou x
Hi Gaby, this tricks save my life. Can you provide where you buy your nail brushes please. They look controllable and easy to use. Thank you ;)
the dont examples are so me 😅😩 learned a lot from this video 😇

AWESOME video! Which black polish are you using? Sooooo opaque AND a nice wiiiiiiiide brush!
I get nail suppliesfrom Amazon. I got a nice
Size box of it la st week and was so tempted to just take them out to look at them.
thanks I always thought I had to wait for it to dry before pulling the tape off
So true me too
I don’t do nail art but this looks really cool!
Wait Gabby what about for gel? How do we use strips with gel?
Gel doesnt dry so I imagine it actually will be easier. You have as much time as you need to get the stripes to look nice and touch it up before curing
Hi Can You do Stripping tape with Gel Polishes? That’s what I use a lot of Gels.. Thank You
i don't know how i ended up here from listening to music, but jee thank you for these nail tape advice!! :D
Hi Gabby... does this method applies to both normal nail polish and gel polish?
Does is work with a peel off base?

welcome!
You can paint liquid latex on the other side of the striping tape to protect the color on the other side.
Can't regular glue be used?
@@lexcj1 you can do that too
For the second design you can use a double tapes or two tapes below each other to be more confident
I needed these tips thank you. I was missing the top coat first and then put the tape on.
What happens if you wanna do a second coat on the layer that is going over the tape ? do you remove the tape and then go over it ?
"don't do this, don't be that person"
Me offended cuz I am that person 😂
I've found doing a clear coat over tape before the color paint prevented the color to bleed under the tape. *However,* I probably had bleeding because I was using just regular tape.
I never thought removing the tape right away would be better. I always try to wait until its dry. (But like I said, I used regular tape, not actual striping tape).

Hi , what nail polish do you use in your videos, are they gel varnish?
My mother was awesome, she did stripes withut tape she used to cut her own paint brushes. It was awesome. So awesome.. she also did pegusas and sunsets
her vids are so relaxing
I wanna watch this video all day
I have a question, the colour of the tape dissolves away when I apply top coat on it, what do I do?
