Almost any adhesive tape is suitable for manicure - both masking tape and ordinary stationery. Both options are convenient to use and do not stick very firmly to the surface - this is an important point, because if the adhesive tape is too sticky, then when peeling it can remove the varnish or even damage the nail.

But for tenacious adhesive tapes there is a trick that will make them suitable for manicure. To make the tape less sticky, you can glue it 1-2 times to the skin on the back of your hand.

On sale you can find a special adhesive tape for nail design. This is a narrow ribbon painted in different colors, which can be used both as ordinary tape and as an independent decoration for manicure. In the latter case, the glued tape is coated with a transparent varnish on top.

How to make manicure with scotch tape

Explain how to make a manicure with scotch tape, the simplest example. For the classic jacket you will need varnishes of white and beige (or light pink) colors, adhesive tape and fixative.

First you need to wipe the nails with nail polish remover to clean and degrease them. Then you need to apply 2 layers of varnish of the main color (beige or light pink) and wait until it is completely dry.

Now you can do the preparation of tape. For a French, it is better to take not even stripes, but slightly rounded - so the manicure will look much more attractive. To make them, you need to stick pieces of adhesive tape on some small round object, for example, a coin, a jar lid or a cork. Then circle with a pen or marker and cut along the contour. The result should be small strips rounded on one side.

Important:   adhesive tape needs to be glued only on a completely dried layer of varnish, otherwise it will come off with the adhesive tape when peeling off.

After this, you need to paint over the area not covered with adhesive tape, white varnish. It is not scary if the varnish gets on the adhesive tape - it just serves to ensure that the area under it remains untouched.

After the top layer of varnish has dried, you can remove the adhesive tape and cover the nail with a fixative or clear varnish. The result should be a perfect French manicure with a neat “smile”.

Manicure with scotch tape: features and practical tips   updated: April 20, 2019 Posted by: Evgenia Sokolova

Abstract drawings and geometric compositions can be not only in the elements of clothing, but also on nail art. Curly details on the nails will help to realize a manicure with adhesive tape.   Also, abstract nail art can be done with duct tape or stencils. Scotch manicure as a way of decorating nail art appeared 10 years ago, and today it is no secret for many how to make a manicure using such materials.

To make a manicure with adhesive tape at home, you need to use not very sticky material so that it does not leave stickiness on the manicure. In this case, a medical adhesive plaster and electrical tape are not suitable. Stationery tape, designer tapes, stencils are the best materials for this design. In addition to them, you need to use: straight and curly scissors, a transparent base, nail polishes of your favorite colors, topcoat.

How to make sticky nail art: instructions

• Nail art with colored adhesive tape - geometric design, looks avant-garde and neat. You need to start with simple shapes, ending with more complex compositions. On a small piece of duct tape, paint three parallel lines using different colors. The coating must be painted on the non-sticky side of the material. Wait 10-20 minutes for the varnish to dry. At this time, paint your nails with a transparent varnish base, so that the design with tape has straight lines. Apply a basic tone on the nails (beige or white).

When the coating is dry, cut strips and triangles with scissors. Stick the figures from colored tape on the nails so that a geometric pattern forms. Fix the result with a top coating.

• Manicure with scotch tape with a zigzag pattern - for its implementation you need ribbons or scotch tape, curly scissors. Paint the nails with a transparent base, then apply the main color (choose light shades). When the layer dries, take some curly scissors, and cut a few pieces of adhesive material, vertically gluing them to each nail plate, touching half of the nail.

Do not remove the material, but paint the open part of the nails with varnish of a different shade. When it sets, carefully remove the adhesive coating from the nails. Brightness will be given to the design by the top cover with sparkles.

• Lunar nail art nail design - stencils, nail polishes are required for its implementation. You need to make a manicure according to the same instructions as the previous ones, but you need to fix the stencil on the nail hole so that it covers the lower part of the nail plate. You get a “linear” hole, which can either be painted over or left colorless.

Geometric Manicure Options

At this, the ideas of curly manicure at home do not end there. Using adhesive tapes, you can create many more varieties of nail design. Manicure with scotch tape “Chess Design” - the original design, which is simple. Instructions for implementation:

After a few minutes, remove the material, and do the same with the diagonal part of the marigold. As a result, we get a “chess” pattern on the nail plate. Fix the result with a top coating.

Manicure with vertical stripes. It is quick and easy. For it you will need three colored nail polishes, a thin brush for manicure, adhesive tapes, base and top coat, scissors.

• On the prepared nails, apply the base, wait until it dries.

• Stick each of the tapes so that there is a gap between each, squeeze them well.
• Apply multi-colored varnishes to the free part of each nail using a thin brush. When the coating dries, you can remove the tape.

Look at three ways to create a French manicure using scotch tape.

Heart manicure ideas - figured design for which you will need sticky paper or a stencil. Using a nail scissors, carefully cut a small heart on 10 pieces of paper. Apply base on the nails, then light pink polish. When the coating dries, attach paper to it so that the heart-shaped pattern is at the edge, or in the center of the composition. Paint the figure with varnish of white or red. You can cut several hearts on paper, and if you have a curly stencil, then nail art will turn out faster.

Designer stencil for figured nail art

Using a manicure design tape as a stencil - with its use you can create a figured figure of any shape. Stylists invented this material to make it easy to apply varnish and paint over the boundaries of free space. In appearance, the tape is thin, reminiscent of the New Year's rain. There is a sticky layer on the inside of the material. You can use it in two ways: the first - as a decor, the second - as a stencil. If you decorate nail art with a shiny ribbon, then it will quickly wash off under water, so this decor is enough for once. But if you decide to create beautiful lines, applying it as a stencil, the pattern will be persistent and saturated.

Ribbons are sold in different colors: gold, silver, pink, blue, yellow, purple, blue, green. Try to make the following composition according to the “cell” pattern. Design can be applied on 1-2 nails, the rest can be painted with a bright color. Use varnish of any shade you like, choosing the right tone for the tape. For example, a dark pink decorative ribbon is suitable for a light pink coating.

Apply the base on the nails, then the base color. When the layer dries, cut 8 small pieces of tape. Diagonally, place 4 pieces on one nail plate, and 4 more pieces perpendicularly. Then, with nail scissors, adjust the result. Apply a layer of transparent fixative to the result and wait for it to dry. It will turn out beautiful and even lines, the figure depends on how you glue the material to the nail plate. The thin, sticky tape can make the contours of vertical and horizontal lines, squares, rhombuses and triangles, the borders of the smile line on the jacket.

2. Manicure with adhesive tape - rays

You can also use scotch tape to decorate the nails. We apply varnish to the nail when it dries, cut out a stencil in the form of rays from a piece of scotch tape. First, clim the tape on the hand to get rid of excess stickiness, then on the nail. We apply black varnish, after it dries, we remove the stencil.

3. The original moon manicure with tape

Mysterious moon manicure. Especially for those who love experiments, an eccentric moon manicure came into fashion this fall. The essence of this nail art is the contrast of the color of the nail plate and the hole of the nail. It is especially fashionable if the nails are covered with a dark matte varnish, and the hole with a light matte varnish of a similar color shade.

To create an original lunar manicure, you need to make a stencil from scotch tape using toothed scissors. Paint the nails black. After drying, glue the adhesive tape, leaving the space of the hole free. We cover the hole with golden varnish, remove the tape.

4. Manicure with leaves of grass

Professional stencils for applying images have long been in stores and beauty salons. They are used to obtain an accurate, clear pattern. Apply the stencil only on the dry plane of the nail. After applying the varnish, you must wait until it dries, and later remove the stencil. Without doing this, you can ruin everything.

But if there is no professional stencil at hand, you can make it yourself using tape. How to make a manicure with leaves, see the photo tutorial.

5. Nails with hearts

The stencil can also be cut from a soft but dense fabric. For example, in the shape of a small heart. A layer of pink varnish is applied to the surface of the nail, then when the enamel is dried, the fabric is applied to the nail and a layer of white varnish with sparkles is applied to the heart.

And another great French style idea.
