How do you wrap the tape around your finger?

[SimpleLittlePleasues]

@hpierce21 check out the taping tutorial under the Tips & Tricks playlist in the information box to see how I apply it =)

[LiLsweatheart1]

two things 1. i have tap wwater and bottled water no filtered which do you recomend? and 2. how lightly do you drag the polish

[SimpleLittlePleasues]

@LiLsweatheart1 I would definitely recommend bottled over tap - drag very lightly, basically barely touching the surface =)

So, the water you are using is just H2O? I mean, do you use a certain type water or do you poor something in it? Or how come does the polish spread so well?

[SimpleLittlePleasues]

@Railq it's plain room temperature filtered water =) not all polish spreads, I do a lot of testing before I do a manicure

[SimpleLittlePleasues]

@gabrielcantu1 over 1600 bottles =)

how do you that stuff ?

I keep trying it but always goes wrong somehow,

or it's already dry, or it doesn't spread out over the cup,

or it is to wet when I do it on mynails and then it is totally ruined, I just don't get it, it's soooo frustrating..

[SimpleLittlePleasues]

@Paintballshitify Are you using room temperature filtered water? Also keep in mind that not all polish works - the brand doesn't really matter but every color is different in the water & it just takes a lot of trial & error to find the ones that work well. You want one with good pigmentation, maybe a little on the thick side but thin enough to drip & above all slow-drying. HTH =)

@princessxX5o5aXx I don't usually cut them at all - I do maintenance filing to keep them around the same length =)
