Looks great! I can't trust striping tape to stay put under any sort of gel though, even builder, I have to cap it with acrylic otherwise it just starts to peel after a couple of days!
MmmCremeEggs7 yeah i was going to ask because i have been following her annd she normally encapsulates with clear acrylic maybe it was a last minute decision????
I've also had that experience. Gel doesn't hold it, builder gel holds it better, but encapsulating everything in clear acrylic is the best way. Just have to be REALLY careful filing it so you can get it smooth and even before you hit the decorations.
I'd like to see more details on getting the apex correct and the thickness of a salon nail. I know practice makes perfect but some times hearing it and seeing technique is a huge help!
that looks like it look FOREVER, even just the prep work for pre cutting all those stripes, and thats just for ONE nail, now to do the other....I can barely manage to unravel those stripe rolls, just like my struggles with finding the end of a masking tape.... the pain! ... so good on anyone who has the courage and patience and tact for this 😥👏👏👏
Kirsty amazing nail as all ways love watching your video thanks so much for doing them for all of us watching you you are a inspiration to all nail tech 😘 xx
ou I saw the thumbnail and I'm definitely going to try this I just got a bunch of different colored stripping tape in the mail!!!! Very excited to try this!!!
Beautiful nail~! Lovely Kirsty! The only thing I would change, is starting with a base color under the tape. I do see some exposure of the nail on the sides near the edge, as each individual tape does not lay exactly next to each other toward the edge of the nail on the sides.
Hi Kirsty! Lovely nail design! I was wondering how come you didn't encapsulate the design? Which is normally what I've seen you do with delicate things like this. 😜
anytime I'm trying acrylic (I'm practicing), The acrylic gets dry/hard and lumpy on the brush tip... any idea why ? i wipe with every dipping but still 😫 my brush isnt as thick as in most your videos.
Navin.N.Sally Family Videos have you got a brush cleaner & make sure you fully saturate the brush, then pick up a bead with only one side, don't dip the top of the brush in xx
Navin.N.Sally Family Videos I'm a qualified tech, so I may be able to offer some advice. if your brush is a cheapy one that can cause problems. you need a size 8 to begin with and make sure it's a kolinsky brush. then when you're applying your acrylic make sure ur brush is clean and your not contaminating your liquid with acrylic. I'm sure Kirsty did a video not long ago about bead pick up and ratio maybe that could help xx
Striping is really difficult for me. trying to put it on your non-dominant hand by yourself is not easy! But since I have all the striping tapes I need I'm going to go ahead and give this a try, nice thing is if I don't like it I can tear It Off , but it does look better on the Stiletto nail I'm going to try this on a coffin nail.
*PLEASE HELP😁* Is fiddling around with the roll endlessly until I get lucky the only way to find the edge of the tape? ANY suggestions are welcome...I'm striping tape ignorant. 😁 I just love this, I hope to accomplish something similar... someday...any day now 😂😂
Gina Mhay looks like just a lil bit. I imagine it would be too bulky or bumpy to completely overlap. I have no skill with stripping tape lol! I have to encapsulate or it would come off.
I've been a striping tape hater for years and you're the only person that has made me love it. so adorably pretty!
Oh my so fiddly but worth it!! Could you imagine a Wonder Woman nail design using those tapes. Thanks for sharing!
You are the best nail technician ever
Respect! That tape is NOT easy to work with. Well done!
My word! GORGEOUS nail! You have patience BEYOND measure!
You have the patience of a saint. Just beautiful 💕💅🏻

MmmCremeEggs7 yeah i was going to ask because i have been following her annd she normally encapsulates with clear acrylic maybe it was a last minute decision????
MmmCremeEggs7 are you capping the edges fully with your gel?
She leaves a bit of a border so it creates a seal
I've also had that experience. Gel doesn't hold it, builder gel holds it better, but encapsulating everything in clear acrylic is the best way. Just have to be REALLY careful filing it so you can get it smooth and even before you hit the decorations.
I love her stuff but I wasn't sure about this until I seen the finished product. Wow, I really like it!
This is the most awesome design I've seen you do! WOW!!!!!
I watch your videos every night. In total awe of your work!
I'd like to see more details on getting the apex correct and the thickness of a salon nail. I know practice makes perfect but some times hearing it and seeing technique is a huge help!
Absolutely beautiful I love the stripes 😻😻😻

GORGEOUS NAIL! : )

Look really nice and easy 💜
I really like this design!
Kirsty, I like your nails in this video. Will there be a "how to" video coming soon?
I just got striping tape, I can't wait to use it.. Love your videos😄👍❤️
This is beautiful. I have stripping tape and this would make a nice accent nail.
Gorgeous!

Heather K. Nickola MstPsych Kirsty her name is
Thank you I will edit it now.
love it. going to try it with the cover colour shell its a very fresh looking acrylic makes it look like you've really healthy nail beads 😍😍
I love your work.
That is gorgeous!

"So I just want you to not be bored out of your tiny minds" lol .
Absolutely gorgeous nails, but, it requires patience and attention... 😊❤️🌼
I like this a lot, so cool.

Очень красиво получилось. Спасибо за видео.

Beautiful!!!!
That was pretty ! But stipping tape are just a pain in the ass !!! Brave Kirsty
love this nail!!!
Beautiful !
This is amazing ❤
love it😍😍😍
Ohh I love this one x
You should do an actual mermaid with a tail as the tip of the nail. It would be cool if it was like 3D or 4D 😊.
Wow gonna try this but I think I'll try it with a foil glue base to help the tape stick better its worth a go 😊😊
Hi Kirsty! Lovely nail design! I was wondering how come you didn't encapsulate the design? Which is normally what I've seen you do with delicate things like this. 😜
That time we spend is why we charge extra... long day doing nails like this all day... ohhhhh the patience my darling....
This is one of my favorite
beautiful!!!!!
So pretty! ^_^
OOOO..ko je to neverjetno lepoooo
Love love this video
After finish the taping I can cover with acrylic? Or need to be finish exactly with gel finish?
love it!
Love it !
did anyone else peep her new holo nail shelves? 😍
harmmoney m She's had them for a few weeks.
Love it but I do not have the patience :D I'd give up after first strip lol
reminds me more of a unicorn horn tbh
Would it look the same if you capped it with acrylic?
Alison Lambie
Yes. Maybe a little bigger because she had already the stilletto base.
just found this woman and i already love her just fyi

Tanya Duncan it doesn't need to be a Kolinsky brush
Lauren Jade it does help having a decent brush I've done nails for nearly 9 yrs now and you just can't do an amazing set with a cheap eBay £2 brush.

You have a lot of patience, will this be an accent nail ?
"bored out of your tiny minds" 😂😂😂
Any tips on doing this on gel, ( +gel colour etc)
Pretty nail.
love it pls can u do some 3d art.
😝
I love to have my nails 💅 done by you
when you just had on the silver, gold, and green it made me think of Loki from Thor. ❤
I have this I got it at fashion week in 2017 I'll most def be doing this😃🤞
*PLEASE HELP😁*
Is fiddling around with the roll endlessly until I get lucky the only way to find the edge of the tape?
ANY suggestions are welcome...I'm striping tape ignorant. 😁
I just love this, I hope to accomplish something similar... someday...any day now 😂😂
is the stripe tape placed on top of one another
Gina Mhay looks like just a lil bit. I imagine it would be too bulky or bumpy to completely overlap. I have no skill with stripping tape lol! I have to encapsulate or it would come off.
I'd like to see a pattern of plaid done in this method. Maybe yellow plaid?? I'm a Hufflepuff!!
how does the strip stay on wen u first put it on before cutting the edges? 😊
it has a sticky back ;)
Exactly, it’s the same as sticky tape but thinner and prettier!
Excelentes todas y cada una de esas uñas solo no se inglés y aprendo viendolo
Excelente día ....
Couldn't watch I found it wayyyy to frustrating lol lol.... I love the thumb nail I'll just look at the lol
Love it
Bravo....👏
I would had use clear acrylic over the tape
That is one of the options 😊 Thank you for your comment!
Why not encased that on clear acrylic? Sometimes that tape does stay even if you put top coat( I've tried millions of times
Ugh this is giving me anxiety and I don't know why 😭
Why'd you put red polish on the tip? 😧😟 it looked so good until you did that
Ekaterina Valienrose I didn't like it either but maybe just so it didn't look like she forgot to do the tip
Probably to hide the ends?
because there was a gap and i think it was getting too small of a space to use the tape. But i do agree.
CCknows yup it was too fiddly at the end to keep adding tape.
looks awesome, but sweety the sound today is a little over the line... a little scratchy.... hope you know what I mean 😅
Amazing
can i do that on ballerina shape?
