Ever since discovering nail tape I am obsessed! Probably because I cannot draw a straight line with a pencil to save my life, let alone any form of nail polish application. It comes in several colors and it is super cheap. Whether you leave it on with a clear coat on top or are just using it to make perfect lined designs, nail tape is sort of becoming an essential in my book! You can buy it here

8.17.13- I have lots of trouble with the manicure tape. I can’t get it to stay adhered, even for 4 hours and even with 2 or 3 top coats. Has anyone found the solution???
I had the same problem with the nail tape peeling off. Eventually I discovered gelous nail gel, I think it is meant as a base coat but I use it as a base coat and then do a layer over the top of the tape as well. (It takes a little while to dry so I also like adding a quick dry top coat). As long as there are no loose ends on the tape I have had it last well over a week.
I use a lot of top coat and dry it with a blow dryer..Your ends should be short ..Not long on the ends where it catches on things or starts to peel off..hope this helps..
Hi there! The only thing I could think of to get it to stay on better is to cure it with a gel top coat under a UV light. Of course I wouldn’t recommend doing this yourself but if you see an esthetician or nail technitian I would ask them to show you how to properly prepare your nail and apply a gel top coat or even a thin clear acrylic top coat (although it’s harder to work with)
