How to Create Striped Nail Art
Striped nail art is a stylish and versatile design that can be customized with various color combinations. Start by applying a base coat and your chosen background color. Once dry, use striping tape to create stripes on your nails. Apply different polish colors between the taped sections, and carefully remove the tape while the polish is still wet to reveal clean lines. Finish with a top coat to protect your design. Striped designs can be particularly precise in Russian manicures, where meticulous attention to detail is key.
