Just wondering what top coat you used. I like using the clear sally hansen “hard as nails” (not the advanced but the other) generally. I recently tried using the sally nail art pen (in white) and after I let it dry a while I applied said top coat and tiny little lines appeared in the white tip. I was bummed, but then I read how others apply another coat of the pink/nude then the top coat. I’ll be trying that when this wears down. I also bought some sale stickers but had the residue problem. Another time I’ll try using them again after getting some skin cells on there but I do really like the ease of the pen. It’s a shame it cracked like that. I assume it was shrinkage. Thank you for your tips!

I put white nail polish under the tips of my nails to get the French tip look, When it dries I clean up the excess and be careful not to wipe off the polish under your nails. It last about 3 weeks before redoing.

great idea…but not worth the hassle of having it leave residue and peel off unevenly and peeling polish with it. Bummer this mother of four finally had time to paint her nails and now I have to start over-but thanks to the comments I’ll try a bit of painters tape for other design ideas next time.

Agreed. 1/4″ reinforcement stickers are too small for my nails.

I don’t see why not — it should work just fine since it’s just a gel nail polish. Let us know how it works, ok?

Is it possible to do this with gelish?

Hmm, not really sure! I don’t know what the tip strips are, but try the reinforcement labels and let us know how it works!
