Applying Color Street to Acrylic Nails

[@sdtisha]

Thank you for advising to the do the thumbs last! I made that mistake the first time. GREAT tutorial. Thank you.

[@kristyannd36]

Thank you for sharing, I love it !

[@mariehaskins7604]

Tara, I just came across this one today, I love that set. You do beautiful application

[@TaraStoddard]

Such a throwback! 🫣😅 I think this was my first video on here… or one of the very first anyway. We were still living in San Diego!

[@TCJ24116]

Would it be easier to apply the strips before applying the acrylic nail if using store bought nails?

[@TaraStoddard]

Hmm I’ve never tried it that way, but I have done the glue on nails before and put Color Street on afterwards. I don’t think I’m coordinated enough to put on color street before applying. 😜

[@JoMishaDStephens86]

These are absolutely GORGEOUS!! I literally just won a Color Street giveaway, with like 3 sets in it. And o cannot wait to try them out!!!😁👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾💯

[@TaraStoddard]

Jomisha Dailey Stephens have you tried them out yet? What did you think?

[@JoMishaDStephens86]

@@TaraStoddard i have actually... once... and i will be honest and say that i do like them. But, I'm still new to them so my application isnt the prettiest lol

[@TaraStoddard]

Jomisha Dailey Stephens there’s definitely a learning curve to them. 😬 The more you use them the better you’ll get. 💗

[@heatherjones1593]

I have acrylics and it’s good to know you can use these. It’s all my nails and no tips 😁 Thank you for sharing!

[@leahstaley1059]

I LOVE how gorgeous the strips look on acrylic nails!! :) Can't wait for your next video!

[@lynnmichel6440]

What a great idea for travel.

[@tinacraven2782]

I love that color!

[@antreaserobinson7995]

I have a clear gel overlay on my nails so is the application the same ?

[@sparkiekat7]

I had a question, so I just got a new set of acrylics this week but I'm also wanting to change up my polish and changing it up with color street so if I'm wanting to change up my look several different times in between getting fills do you know how you can do that do you just layer on top or is there a way that I can remove my current color Street strip so that I'm not ruining my acrylics or anything have you experimented with any of this? Hopefully it makes sense to what I'm asking

[@dorothyoshields6262]

if you use an iron on the ends it will seal the packages or a lighter and its sealed for the nest time

[@katperry7644]

Did you buff your acrylics before applying color Street? I'm in need of a backfill but unable to go so I'm putting color street over so just curious on buffing and filing before.

[@TaraStoddard]

Kat Perry I did not buff before putting them on. Just used the alcohol prep pad. They stick on perfectly!

[@rosasolano4577]

Tara Stoddard doesn’t it show a bump where the overgrown acrylic meets your actual nail?

[@TaraStoddard]

Rosa Solano Ooooh I was thinking you meant to get them to stick... You could definitely buff down that bump to make it look more natural!

[@qwinntsentielbeauty9974]

Tara for the unused part can you use a mini bag sealer to heat seal the bag closed ... would that help them last do you think? As in i am guessing its because they dry the last 5% so dont last as well.

[@debbie0773]

How do you remove the Color Street Wraps from acrylic nails without damaging the acrylics? I like to get 4 weeks out of my acrylics but would like to change the polish every 2 weeks.

[@TaraStoddard]

debbie0773 I’ve just been using regular nail polish remover. Just make sure not to get any underneath on any plastic tips you have. I don’t have any plastic on mine... it’s just my natural nail underneath. I also don’t soak them and I make sure to wash my hands right afterwards. The remover doesn’t seem to affect the gel top coat I have. I get 4-5 weeks out of my acrylics and change every 1-2 weeks depending on my mood. :)

[@debbie0773]

Tara Stoddard thanks for the info.

[@MrAnderson2579]

Tara Stoddard wow you can make your acrylics last a long time!!!!! Can you do a video on how you take the wraps off your acrylics? And how to make your acrylics last Longer? Thank you!!!!

[@TaraStoddard]

Neomi Jivapong sure! I’m taking off my accent nails today and switching it for something else. I’ll record it!

[@debbie0773]

Tara Stoddard cool. Thanks

[@mariaabonza1571]

Is that the fake acrylic nails or from the salon?

[@TaraStoddard]

Maria Abonza these were acrylic nails done at a salon.

[@mariaabonza1571]

Tara Stoddard thank you. Do you think I put it over dipping powder ?

[@TaraStoddard]

Maria Abonza I don’t see why not. I haven’t personally used dipping powder, but I had no issues with acrylics. As long as I didn’t soak my nails I could even use remover to take off the color street and apply a new color. Try it out and see how it works! I’d love to hear your results.

[@mariaabonza1571]

Tara Stoddard I’ll let you know 😊

[@IndyGrl94]

When you get your acrylic nails done, knowing that you are putting on the Color Street polish strips, do you get anything special done at the salon? Any particular finish that needs to go on the acrylics for the Color Street to stick?

[@TaraStoddard]

Rachel McKinney I don’t ask for anything special. it’s usually just a clear gel top coat that goes on.

[@dorothyoshields6262]

no just be sure your nails are washed or use the alcohol pads and your ready to go

[@hollyragland9934]

You put theses on acrylic nails? So can you put on Impress or fake clear nails?

[@Haygirl345]

Holly Ragland I put color street on my impress nails and they look good.

[@Sarah-fr4ui]

I have these color strips on my nails now

[@nancylallycarroll802]

If one cleans and does dishes and otherwise behaves like a normal person, how long does the strip last on the nail before they need to be redone?

[@TaraStoddard]

Nancy Lally Carroll They last about 10-14 days.

[@themerantis5014]

Nancy Lally Carroll I’m a hair dresser so my nails are always in water and they last about two weeks for me!

[@DJTNT1991]

are there any videos from 2020?

[@TaraStoddard]

TNT Myers I haven’t had the chance to put any up, but the application hasn’t changed any. :) Do you have any questions that I can help with?

[@dairyist]

@@TaraStoddard I have a question! It doesn't look like you did a light buff on your acrylics. Do they last?

[@TaraStoddard]

kel kel Good question! No buff needed! They stick to acrylic really well. :)

[@TheGertrude7]

Use a flat iron to reseal then they will stay for longer

[@charleneturgeon7720]

save the ones you can't use for your toes :)

[@christimcdaniel5779]

Do you have clear On the top of your acrylics?

[@TaraStoddard]

Christi McDaniel I have on the clear gel they normally put on at the salon. :)
