[martineedee]

Very helpful! Great tip to extend manicures :)

[IOweHim04]

Love the nail art and the shape of your nails. Be blessed and Happy New Years!!! :)

[ebabylopez]

Very helpful :)

[allidock11]

I'm so trying this technique ASAP! I always wait to take off the tape and it leaves jagged edges. Thanks!

And I really like your wedding ring, very flattering to your fingers. :)

[pimenlu100]

Great tips:)

[TheAccessoryGirl]

I found your video through Coco, LadyCocoSea1, and I just wanted to say I really enjoyed it, found it helpful, and think this nail look is so pretty! I love that Nicole's Nickel color you used under the black, it's beautiful! Thank you for sharing your taping tips.

[Jme2081]

Thank u! U just saved me from throwing out a bunch of polish! I really appreciate the super fast reply :)

[Jme2081]

How do u keep ur polishes from getting thick and bubbling? I get so frustrated when that happens!

[sokolum79]

@Jme2081 I use a nail polish thinner (OPIs) to thin the polish and try not to shake your polish just before you apply it, try rolling it instead.

[KJELR2007]

Thank you for the tips on taping! I bought a Sally Hanson's French set and it stinks.

[Yinith1]

hehehe you are verry creative with nail polish :)

Also good brands though !

[b00mbAhb00m]

I need the sparkly silver nail polish now lol :D

[SineadxFay]

Awesome! I'm gonna try this :)

[pinksofoxy]

[Kamaluna81]

[misszombie0221]

[EvaEvaEva923]

Love the manicure - found you through LadyCocoSea1. Excellent tutorial. Look forward to watching your other vids! Thanks again. Hugs xxx Eva

[tangledlifeof]

That's really helpful, every single time I try taping my nails I end up with the nail polish lifting, I tried it with your tips and a different tape and they turned out flawless. Thank you!

[Sundriesandetc]

nice trick. and gorgeous base color.....o__o

[AshliMeiDotCom]

I tried this yesterday and it looks so pretty! Thanks for sharing!

[chapstick280391]

sooo helpful, thank you so much :) x

[sokolum79]

@chapstick280391 I am glad that it helped. :)

[dreamboatannie0816]

Heather, I cant seem to find the Nicole's Nickel online. Where did you buy it?

[sokolum79]

@dreamboatannie0816 I bought it at Shoppers Drug Mart, but I've also seen it at Walmart. :)

[InanimateLove]

Ooh this is awesome!! :) I highly enjoy it, <3

[sokolum79]

@InanimateLove Thank you! :)

[VictoriaCreeper]

Ohhh! I gotta try this for a party I'm going to this weekend! =D

[sokolum79]

@VictoriaCreeper Yeah! Perfect party nails. :)

[vlntbty]

Very nice! I really like it. :)

[sokolum79]

@vlntbty Thank you! :)

[nymphette415]

No wonder this never works for me... I always do two coats.

[sokolum79]

@nymphette415 Let me know how it goes when you try it out twin. :)

[MessyMama1]

I love finding nail polishes that cover in one coat, ty for the tip in the black especially. I just picked up another Sinful Colors this weekend and now I'll be on the look out for the black on black!

[sokolum79]

@MessyMama1 Yeah, I usually do two coats anyway, except when I am layering colours with this method. :)

[MessyMama1]

@sokolum79 I picked up the black yesterday and did this exact technique last night. I was super impressed with how easy the whole thing was, since it was my first try at anything like this, and that black is awesome. Totally love it, ty for the video and my new obsession!

[ebrushkaa]

Love this idea, thanks so much for sharing!

[sokolum79]

@ebrushkaa Thank you! :)

[ShaunQuisha]

This was an awesome video! Thanks! ^_^

[sokolum79]

@ShaunQuisha Thank you! :)

[symmetricalastic]

My nails are so small and short; this would never work on me

[sokolum79]

@symmetricalastic You're a one colour kinda gal then. :)

[popsugartvbella]

Great video!

[sokolum79]

@popsugartvbella Thank you! :)

[cosmeticcouturier]

great helpful video.

[sokolum79]

@cosmeticcouturier I am glad it was useful Grace. :)

[cosmeticcouturier]

@sokolum79 It really was terrific, your end result was flawless. I can see doing variations of french tips using this method.

[cosmeticcouturier]

@sokolum79 I am doing my usual nail polish faves video this month. I am going to mention your video and link it.

[thelimelolly]

Thank you!!!

[sokolum79]

@thelimelolly You're very welcome. :)

[TheMsdarkmetal]

Love this. Can't wait to try this.

[sokolum79]

[bunnycart]

[bunnycart]

amazing vid! been trying to do this nd failing but at least now it may work :D THANKYOU THANKYOU THANKYOU

[sokolum79]

@bunnycart Let me know how it goes for you Katie! I pretty much use any brand of top coat (cheaper the better), it's more my base coats that I am particular with.

[dreamboatannie0816]

you have very nice nails. I love this look, very edgy. great job!

[sokolum79]

@dreamboatannie0816 Thank you so much! :)

[MsUnique912]

[sokolum79]

@MsUnique912 Thank you! :)

[LadyCocoSea1]

I think I only have a few colors with me where I am so we'll see what I come up with. I might have to go get some new colors! (shhh...) xo

[sokolum79]

@LadyCocoSea1 Haha! Sneaky! ;)

[vividlychaotic]

Now that I finally have some nails to paint (haha!) I'm definitely giving this a try.

Could you also do a video, if applicable that is, on how you shape your nails? Or just general nail care :)

Love it. Much love, -Sakura

[sokolum79]

@vividlychaotic I can do that in the very near future for sure. Great idea Sakura! :)

[sokolum79]

@BeautyByJessica25 Awesome! :)

[chiqua1970]

Your so creative with your nails!! I really like the ideas!

[sokolum79]

[Siren274]

[sokolum79]

@MissKona2009 Thank you! :)

[aziajs]

Great video and so easy!

[sokolum79]

@aziajs Thank you! Yeah, super easy, it just took me a bit to tweak it so that the line is smooth and to find the right tape. :)

[fictionwriter04]

Great tips as always! thank-you :) This look would be perfect for New Year's Eve too :)

[sokolum79]

@fictionwriter04 Totally the right amount of bling for the holidays. ;)

@sokolum79 Nicole's Nickel is SO going to be MINE!!! lol gotta get that asap! sooo pretty!!!!

[davidluv4]

[sokolum79]

@davidluv4 Exactly what I think Caryn!! :)

[peepgal]

Wonderful

[sokolum79]

[ilovelemonysnicket]

@ilovelemonysnicket Hehe, you probably would have eventually. :)

[1MayTiZZle]

Thanks for the awesome tip!!! Love the colors n design! I always wondered about how to do it. Hehe :p u must have read my mind!!!

@1MayTiZZle Haha! Great minds think alike right? ;)

[starfish628]

[oshinsr]

excellent tips. thank you so much!

[sokolum79]

@oshinsr You're welcome and I'm happy it was helpful! :)

[onyxfaith]

Oh lordie, Nicole's Nickel IS a gorgeous polish. I'm not normally a big fan of glitter in anything... but THAT, I need to get my hands on. I think I like it because it's not "sparse". Ya know?

[sokolum79]

@onyxfaith Yeah it's super glitter! That was only 2 coats. Where have you been? Are you okay?

[onyxfaith]

@sokolum79 I'm okay, Just been really wiped out with this move we did. Then I got sick during the whole thing. I pop in here and on FB periodically. I'm hoping to get more energy up again soon. Thanks for asking. I HAVE missed you.

[TheStrangerSpeaks]

Oooohhhhhhhhhh I wondered how people do this. I'm gonna do this, thanks

[sokolum79]

@TheStrangerSpeaks DO IT! >:-)

[Neequu78]

This would look cool with the shatter polish on the ends too. I might have to try it! :)

[sokolum79]

@Neequu78 Try it and let me know how it goes!

[UnIqUeLyKeya]

Yet another genius nail tutorial! Thanks =)

[sokolum79]

@UnIqUeLyKeya Thank you! It's a pretty common nail design technique. :)

[MusicLover9517]

This is so pretty. :]

I might have to go to Rite-Aid just to get some sparkly silver nail polish lol

[sokolum79]

@MusicLover9517 Oohh, you should! Sparkly silver always makes me happy. :)

[JustineDowning1]

looks great! love that colour combo...

[sokolum79]

@JustineDowning1 Thank you! It's pretty much my go to colours, silver and black. :D

[sokolum79]

@PoshPatootie Thank you! :)

[Iinoratheexplorer]

I love to tape my nails! What i have been doing is really cool, taping a sort of triangle pattern instead of doing a french, it looks really cool! You should try it sometime!

[sokolum79]

@Iinoratheexplorer I actually do that too sometimes. :)

[missrosieglow]

Wow! Looks really neat! Can't wait to try it out!

[sokolum79]

@missrosieglow Yah!! :)

[chiqua1970]

Very cute! Love that idea!

[sokolum79]

@chiqua1970 Thank you! :)

[misssandycandy]

I do that too, I just put a stripe along the edge when my pedicure starts to peel there. This is beautiful! Love those colors together.

[sokolum79]

@misssandycandy Haha, great minds think alike! ;)

[misssandycandy]

@sokolum79 =))
