Hi Ladies,

I use tape to cover strips of nail and then paint in stripes, but when I lift the tape the line is messy.

Any tips to getting a clean line?

Thank you :)

i would use a brush to fix the lines & lightly dip the tip of the brush in nail polish remover prior to.

Get a striping tool in whatever color and also practice on a piece of paper it helps

Buy striping tape! They're like $3.00 on Amazon. Also, you don't want to wait for the nail polish to dry completely before removing tape. This will cause the nail polish to lift off with the tape.. But you don't want to remove the tape while the nail polish is still completely wet, this will cause the nail polish to run.. or "bleed." I hope this made sense lol.

wait until the polish is dry to remove the tape. also try using two thin costs of polish rather then one thick coat. if your doing g a design that you can't afford to spend all that time waiting, try the stripping brushes. it make take some practice but iys great once you get the hang of it.
