Hi, this is my first manicure blog. This time i wanted to try nail wrap
strip tape and my color choice wasn't the best, but i will learn from my
mistakes.
At the moment I use
Sensational gel polish. And I
use Bubbly Champagne and Espresso Bean Gel color and rose gold wrap
strip. For this design You will need :
- acetone free polish remover
- lint free wipes
- orange wood stick
- nail file / and buffer
- gel cleanser
- gel primer
- gel base and top coat
- 2 gel color's
- wrap strip tape
- scissors or cuticle cutter for cutting the size or the wrap
- nail /cuticle oil after the manicure
At
first i always clean my nails with acetone free remover just to clean
before manicure. Then i do Dry manicure, after shape the nail and then
lightly buff the surface of the nail plate. Then use Gel cleanser with
lint free wipe to remove dust from buffing.Let it Air dry for
15seconds.Then apply Gel primer on outer edges of nail for easy removal.
Let it Air dry for 30 seconds. Then apply thin Base coat, and make sure
to don't touch the cuticles (it you did then clean with orange wood
stick to prevent clean and perfect manicure) , cap the free edge. Cure:
30 seconds. After this point I put some nail wrap striping tape what i
order from ebay, but probably you can get from any beauty supply store.

Apply
thin, even coat of polish color of choice, cap the free edge. Because i
use 2 colors on one nail I try do as evenly i could,for this design.
Cure :60 seconds in LED lamp. Repeat second coat of color polish for
intense (darker) color. Cap the free edge. Apply thin coat of Top coat,
cap the free edge. Cure: 30 seconds in LED lamp. Remove tacky residue
with Nail surface cleaner with Lint free nail wipe. Massage nourish
cuticle oil into skin surrounding nail plate. I use Essie nail oil.
And You Done .
I Believe if YOU don't practice, You not gonna get Better.
