I've heard of it before too it's called "wrapping the tips" but I honestly don't do it very often haha I always end up getting it on my skin when I do that. I have tried it before with Seche to try to help with the shrinking but I found that it would shrink away from my cuticle instead and look like it grew out :( I've been hearing really good things about the hk top coat but I haven't tried it yet... I think I might order some soon!Lovestruck Lacquerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04422355681849821603noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7772868764209247463.post-60570915547801139882014-04-07T20:46:06.321-07:002014-04-07T20:46:06.321-07:00This looks pretty cool. :D I have 10 of those stri...This looks pretty cool. :D I have 10 of those striping tapes laying here and I rarely use them. haha. I know what you mean about Seche. When it got all gooey, I used my Seche restore. It saved my Seche Vite. I also found out that it's a bit of meticulous to use. It's better to use it with no AC or fan. You must only use ample amount. Too much product on the brush can cause bubbles. :( As for the shrinking, I tried putting the top coat until under my nail (I hope that makes sense). Sometimes, it's such a hassle to use. I also heard of HK Glisten and Glow top coat. Have you tried that? :) Breenahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12220863082605088184noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7772868764209247463.post-87278796477502613402014-04-07T20:19:03.165-07:002014-04-07T20:19:03.165-07:00thanks traci!

I didn't realize that Seche Restore doesn't actually fix it 100%... might just try another top coat then :(Lovestruck Lacquerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04422355681849821603noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7772868764209247463.post-34487801594545858112014-04-07T00:03:10.268-07:002014-04-07T00:03:10.268-07:00I think this came out pretty good!

It wasn't so bad before... also I put the polish on pretty thick because I didn't want to do two coats with the tape or I wouldn't get a clean line... I haven't tried the Deborah Lippmann maybe I'll look into it but her stuff is pretty expensive! :(Lovestruck Lacquerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04422355681849821603noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7772868764209247463.post-38774711552208891342014-04-03T14:03:57.323-07:002014-04-03T14:03:57.323-07:00Thanks Lisa!

Have you tried Deborah Lippmann's Gel Lab? I just started using it and its good. I don't wear a lot of cream colors because I think they match my skin too much. I like the one you used.Melissa-Lacquer Nirvanahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11639946870270803315noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7772868764209247463.post-73944450640018889772014-04-03T09:15:12.195-07:002014-04-03T09:15:12.195-07:00Welcome to the world of striping tape!
