HOW TO USE STRIPING TAPE FOR NAIL ART (Nail Polish 101) || KELLI MARISSA

[@tracywren9681]

It just makes me laugh every time my cat hears your voice coming from my computer, he comes running and has to sit on my lap while your video runs. He loves you like the rest of us do. 💜

[@KelliMarissa]

Haha omg I'm honored! Tell him I said hello/meow lol!

[@cynthiajfaulkner8655]

That's funny. My sister does the same thing and says, "Can I watch, too?" She's in her 60s.

[@amybourget6046]

@tracywren9681 That is the cutest thing ever!!! I loved hearing that. My husband’s friend’s Ian has a new cat Smokey and she heard my voice for the first time on FaceTime and immediately looked at the phone. He said that she never does that and how cute it was. He said that she must love my voice and I must remind her of her mom’s voice. So every time I she hears my voice, she always looks and responds to my voice. He loves it. ❤

Striped shirt is 🎯 Love that 2023 Kelli is using 2024 polish. Ahh, the power of video editing 😂

[@KelliMarissa]

🤣🤣🤣 I took a little trip into the future to get those polishes for this video 😂 glad you noticed the striped top LOL

[@theseinstrumentals]

Haha I did not notice the shirt nice one

[@lineyloveslacquer]

Omg I meant to ask a similar fun fact question, but I didn’t know if it would be weird😂We joked about naming our baby Charmander, Mandy for short!

[@scurvgirl]

You said Polly for a girl and I was like yes, Polyurethane. Also this video is so well times! I invited my friends over for a mani night with all growing horde of nail polish and ordered some striping tape!

[@KelliMarissa]

HAHAH POLYURETHANE 😂😂😂

[@pamelabeth]

When I heard her say it thought Poly Pocket 😅

[@memyself2589]

In my family, all babies are called 'Fred' before they are born. It helps take the pressure off the parents for coming up with a name. Thanks for the striping tape tips.

[@KelliMarissa]

That's really interesting, I haven't heard of that before! Is it a cultural thing? Or unique to your family?

[@memyself2589]

It started as a family joke, and took off from there.@@KelliMarissa

Girl, I discovered your channel a few days ago and I am BINGE watching all of your videos. I feel like I’m doing my nails with a friend haha

[@KelliMarissa]

Oh gosh I'm honored to hear it haha!! Welcome to my little corner of the internet! If there's anything you want to know that you don't see a video on, feel free to ask or request a detailed vid on😋

I laughed so hard at the baby name story. I'm gonna have to start doing this to my brother, he's having a baby soon XD Loved the diagonal, stripey sort of french nail, I'm gonna try that one tomorrow!

[@A.hopki.]

Yay! I've had striping tape for so long now but I have yet to use it since I wasn't sure how. I just did a magnetic mani, but now I know what I'm doing for my next mani!

[@KelliMarissa]

Ooh yesss!! I believe in you!! 💅💅

[@amybourget6046]

@amandahopkins6921 Ha ha, i just did a magnetic mani too. I did Cirque Dalphinus.

[@gray_7]

The stained glass one came out awesome! I’d love to see more nail art with striping tape

[@BeckyANails]

It seems like forever since you’ve had a fresh 101 video! I love going back and watching old how to videos but am so excited for the new ones! I hope you’re healing well! Thanks for putting this one in the can for us!! ❤😂😅 💅

[@KelliMarissa]

Oh thank you so much Becky! I also did a Nail Polish 101 on magnetic polishes recently but that might be more of a 201 type of polish LOL!

[@lisapierce525]

Yes to more striping tape manis. Those names are hilarious! Thanks for this video. Praying you’re doing well!❤

I bookmarked this video, Kelli. I can't wait to try this. My nails are gonna look FLY.

[@christonalva7032]

Thank you Kelli for this 101 video about striping tape. You detailed and explained it so well 😊

[@Creppycookies]

You peeling the tape is so satisfying. I definitely need to use striping tape often bc these manicures are everything ❤️❤️ Lmao the watermelon one and Mayonnaise names are everything, I love that idea 😂😂❤️❤️❤️ Love the look and outfit ❤️❤️❤️❤️

[@Randi19196]

This was great! I would love to see more striping videos!

[@KelliMarissa]

Thank you! Definitely more to come!!

[@lisajames4641]

I bought a multipack of striping tape last year and I haven’t used it yet because I couldn’t even manage decent results with French mani tape guides. Thanks to this video I’ve seen the error of my ways! I was leaving the tape on my nails too long and peeling up the polish. Ready to try out my striping tape now. Thanks!!

[@EricaYE6]

Thank you for sharing. I can see myself putting on a good movie and doing this to my nails one lazy afternoon. Looks fun! And it looks professional, but it's effortless. 💜💜💜

[@pecoslindis]

How did you know I needed this video?!

[@Artygirl_]

I love your 101 and nail art videos and would be VERY into more videos with nail art using striping tape!

I am so glad you put in the comments the blue polish you had on your nails! So gorgeous, in some angles it looked greenish. I got to get that!😃

[@krisanderson8146]

Love the Polish 101 series so keep 'em coming! 😉 Here's a name for you... Rue short for Kangarue (I'm from Utah, I wouldn't put it past anyone here giving a child a wild name with an even wilder spelling.)

[@blunki_123]

This video reminded me that I should really try more designs with striping tape as decorations. Also another tip I think you didn’t mention: Applying topcoat in the direction of the stripes so they don‘t smudge.

[@KelliMarissa]

Ooh yeah that's a great tip 😅😅

[@anailuj.526]

I have a bunch of stripping tape that came with a kit I bought on Amazon and wasn’t sure how to use it. Thank you for this video!

[@KelliMarissa]

Yay happy to help!!

[@reginakeith8187]

Well, you inspired me again! It's something I've often wished I had while I'm doing my nails, but I never think about it afterwards and so I've never actually purchased any... until today. I got the one on your list. Thanks for the reminder and the recommendation!

[@KelliMarissa]

Ooh yes you're gonna have a lifetime supply haha!

[@bluefroggy99]

This was a great tutorial! I’ve played with striping tape a few times, but any extra tips are always appreciated. ☺️

Thank you for doing the designs at the end. I took screenshots so I can recreate some of the looks, especially the last few ones and I absolutely loved the brown one with the gold as well. It does look like a designer bag look. I love these kinds of videos. Could you do more nail tutorial videos please. I love them. Can you do some for St. Patricks Day Please. Of Course after Valentine’s Day. Thank you in advance. Love, Amy from Rhode Island. ❤

[@ciscottciscott]

Thank you so much for this video! I love it! I'm going to try some striping tape manis. And yes, I would love more striping tape videos! But also, back at Halloween I got your Advent calendar set. And now I have my first tiny brush for the fine work, and my first dotting tool. I love geometric designs and would love a video showing both striping tape and dot designs. Even manis using both tools! May I ask what your lip color is in this video? It's beautiful. I sure hope you are healing well and will be fully recovered soon.

[@AquariumRandomVideo2]

For anti-smudging, try water based top coat first and normal above it. I read it somewhere and this advice worked for me (european drugstore polishes)

[@KelliMarissa]

Great tip!!

Love your 101 videos, would love a stamping video I am struggling with doing a background stamp eg snowflakes ❄️ in background with something stamped on stop. Mine all seam to disappear or over shadow the main image if that makes sense. Not sure if its because I only do short nails, and it's not big enough area for both if that makes any sense. Also can you recommend your best gold stamping polish?

When I do nail art, I use the smudge free topcoat from Maniology (idk how to spell that), and then a regular one. You still need to give your nails a solid 5-10 minutes to dry before you use it, but with regular topcoat, I’ve ruined really cute manis even letting them dry for 30+ minutes.

[@KelliMarissa]

Ooh yeah I've used that one! I also love the fast dry drops from Zoya before top coat to dry everything out and prevent smudges!
