If gel polish is used, then the use of such a lamp is mandatory. A well-dried background is important, otherwise the tape may not lie flat and you will have to redo everything again.

• Now you can measure the required length of the strip of tape and cut it off. Next, separate the layer from the sticky base. Tweezers will help a lot with this, as they do not damage the adhesive layer.

It is necessary to try to make sure that the tape does not protrude beyond the edge of the plate, otherwise it can quickly lag behind the nail. From the edge of the marigold, the tape should be removed 1–1.5 mm. This will allow her to last longer and the manicure will look better.
• Now you need to firmly press the tape so that it sticks to the plate. If the varnish is not sufficiently solidified on the surface, a depression may form, which will ruin the manicure. The tape should lie on top of the varnish. You should not be too relaxed in working with this simple element, as it requires concentration and effort.
