Awh thanks :) I had previously done a similar mani using striping tape and wanted to try using striping brushes so this is how it turned out using striping brushes (the lines arent too straight though) ;( aha

@nattaleigh you've got a steadier hand then me that's for sure, I looked again and even after you said they weren't straight they still look straight!! Good job girl!

Ps- how do you use the striping brushes? I'm scared of messing up so I think I just use too little polish, but it never looks straight or thin :(

@raylene. I have a big bead at the end of the brush and drag the bead along my nail. :) then spread it out. Dunno if thats the right way but it works for me. :)

@nattaleigh can you post a picture of your brush so I can buy it. I have a "striping" brush but it doesn't have a bead and it's fairly wide :(

Looks like you have the same as me (can see the pink handle).

When I bead, I mean a bead of nail varnish (acrylic talk coming out there aha). I always gather a big drop of nail varnish at the end and drag it VERY lightly up my nail so that the brush doesn't actially touch the nail but the drop of nail varnish does.

I don't know if I'm making much sense. Its hard to think of how to describe it.

Have a big 'blob' of polish at the very tip of the brush and drag it up your nail. Don't press so that the brush touches the nail but let the tip of the blob of nail varnish touch and then pull it up the nail then spread it out when the line is done to fill in the middle.

Am I making sense? Aha

And thanks everyone :)

Ah! I think we do have the same set! Lol and yes that does make sense, I must just not be putting enough polish on my brush! Lol

That might be it. Wait for it to drip to a blob on the end. It works for me anyway. Other people do it other waysss.
