Multicoloured striped tips - swatches and quick tutorial

For this Nail Art Sunday I want to show you my multicoloured striped tips! :D
I guess this is the kind of nail art you either love or hate ;) These are made by hand, and yes, it takes a while do to them ;) but it's not complicated at all!

I used the following polishes: (from left to right)
Viva la Diva French Manicure #9
Barry M Blueberry
Orly Prince Charming
Eyeko Saucy Red Polish
Butter London Slapper

How to do these striped tips:
1) Paint your nails with a base colour and let it dry completely
2) Apply a piece of nail striping tape where you want the striped tip to begin
3) Paint each stripe with a thin brush
4) Remove the striping tape and let dry
5) Apply a top coat. Done! :)

Some good advise: ;)
- Apply one colour at the time on all nails. This will save you from cleaning the brush too many times ;) You will still have to do the colours several times, but this will still save you a lot of time and cleaning ;)
- Keep the bottles in the same order as you want the stripes. After a while you'll get all confused on which next colour to use ;) This helps!

So, do you love or hate this striped tips manicure? ;)
Will you try it yourself?

      Vrid på huvudet så är de åt rätt håll! :P
      Själva grejen är ju att ränderna är åt ett annat håll! Jag kan ju inte göra som alla andra ;) xoxo

    Jag tycker LOVE LOVE LOVE! Hur kan man ogilla detta ens? ;) Supersnyggt, har funderat på något sånt här innan och nu har jag ju ingen anledning att inte göra det. Gillade färgerna och du har verkligen fått till linjerna skarpa och snygga! Så kul att komma in här och känna inspiration direkt, funderar redan vilka färger jag ska använda när jag gör detta! :)

    Otroligt snyggt! Det är precis det här som är anledningen till varför jag hoppas på att mina naglar vill växa ut och bli jämna. Så att jag också kan ha snygga och roliga franska manikyrer.

    Hi cupcake!!! Stripes are my favorite pattern :-)!!! I wear striped dresses, T-Shirts, undies, I own striped carpets, towels, bed covers - just to give you an idea ;-)!!! However I will never muster the patience for this mani and wearing my nails always as nubs or just a couple of Millimeters over my finger tips, there would not be enough space - BUT I ordered a set of nail wraps - and some have stripes ;-)!!! Love xxx

    Wonderful mani, cara Jezzica! I definitely have to try this one, though it sounds like a lot of patience is required. I specially like the combo of brown and teal!

    How about your first lesson as a florist teacher?? I'm sure that was a success!

      Grazie mille cara!! :D Yes, brown and teal are great together!! You are so right! If you don't have the patience to do a full mani of these you can always just do an accentnail! :D
      My first lesson was so much fun Nati!!! :D But it's very hard work preparing the lessons and ordering the right amount of flowers etc. You are so cute remembering and asking!! <3 Grazie!
      Baci!
