At the initial stage, it is important to make a high-quality manicure so that the final result is pleasing to the eye and neat. Make it the way you are used to. It doesn't really matter if it is a trim or hardware method.
Next, apply the base, dry well. Now is the time for the main color. It can also be dried. Next, we cut off several ribbons of the required length and glue them on the nail. Where and at what angle to do this depends on your desire.

Only then do we apply the second color. Try not to paint over the stripes too much. The less varnish gets on them, the easier and more accurately you will remove them later. Actually, after you paint over the selected area, the tape can be removed. This is best done with special tweezers. This will reduce the risk of touching the varnish and ruining the entire manicure. Dry everything thoroughly and cover with a finish.

This is the simplest procedure by which you will make even multi-colored stripes on your own nails.If you show your imagination, then you can develop more complex options with a large number of colors, various geometries and interesting effects.
A manicure with ribbons can be done in a different way. To do this, take a decorative sticky tape. It differs from the previous material in its beauty. From the outside, it has an attractive shiny surface, which can be covered with glitter or small grains.

The execution of the procedure itself is even easier than in the first case. First, the manicure, the base, the main color - everything as described above. Next, glue the ribbon of the desired color and width. Gently spread it on the nail with a stick, paying special attention to the edges. If the length is a little longer, then bite it off with tweezers. Next, cover with a finish and dry.

Lunar
It is quite difficult to make the perfect curved line in the shape of a crescent by hand, and this is what a high-quality moon manicure requires. Use duct tape for this. Just place it not straight, but with a slight rounding. In specialized stores, you can also find curly linen, which will already have the desired bend.

French
This popular design is easy to bring to life with this material. Cover the entire plate with the main color (most often these are nude shades), dry well and glue the tape. Now cover the free edge with white varnish, remove the tape and dry. To add sophistication and elegance, you can reattach the golden ribbon at the border of the two colors and secure it. So you get a very beautiful and original jacket.

Matt
The ribbons have a shiny finish, so when you cover them with a matte top they will lose their shine. To prevent this from happening, you will have to separately cover the main plane of the nail with a matte coating, and process the strip with a regular one. This can be done easily by separating the desired area with the same adhesive tapes.

Vertical stripes
Using this technique, you can create a stylish, minimalistic design. Pick a base color and cover all your nails with it. Glue the shiny strip onto your middle or ring finger. You can arrange all the other fingers in this way, or you can limit yourself to one.

Horizontal stripes are made in the same way. How many and what color there will be, it's up to you. Think about the combination of colors, the width of the stripes and their number. The beauty of horizontal stripes is that they don't have to be identical on different nails. Asymmetry will only enhance the individuality of the manicure.

Net
It is not easy to draw an even mesh on the nails without additional tools. So cover the nail plate with the color you chose for the lines. Dry and carefully glue the tape, first along one diagonal, then along the other. This will create a mesh. Next, cover your nails with a second color, remove the mesh and dry. To enhance the effect, you can attach rhinestones to the intersections.
