quick question:before taping the finger should we put a base coat or any colour of nail polish?(and how many times?)

[SimpleLittlePleasues]

@musicstargazer yes, I usually do my base coat & color first =) how many layers is going to depend on the color but usually 1 or 2

I love your videos! I tried this for the first time last night and it worked! The tape I have is too sticky and hard to get off without messing up the polish so I tried lotion instead. I put a thin layer around the nail and finger then whiped it off with a tissue after a dipped.

@2000jasmin It's been on my to-do list for a while now to do a comparison between taping & lotion or vaseline/chapstick etc, but I haven't gotten around to it yet. Aside from the fact that it seems like it would be very messy, several viewers have told me that they can leave a residue in the water that makes it harder to do the next designs, which is why I've stuck with tape so far =)

@SimpleLittlePleasues I tried again yesterday and this time I was being extra careful when taping and made sure I did it exactly the way you do.. and now it worked perfectly! :D I'm not sure what I did wrong before but I'm really happy it worked now. Thank you for all your tutorials, I'm a big fan :)
