Most nail art stickers come in sets and packages already designed for you, to make this as easy for you as possible. Don’t be afraid to mix different nail stickers sets up if you wish to.
You don’t have to mix and match your nail art stickers, but can wear matching stickers for a beautiful finish. Most women apply a topcoat over their stickers to help keep them from peeling. It is important to apply topcoat over the very bottom edge of your nail and sticker or to wrap the sticker under your nail slightly to help prevent it from peeling off. You can apply different styles of topcoat, such as shiny or matte to change the look of your stickers as well. If you want you could always add a bit of glitter over your stickers, too.

Whether there is one or two colours bringing the look together or all the same style of bindi being used, it is best to keep something that is the same with all of them. However, don’t let that stop you from trying completely different styles and colours if that is what you wish for, for your nail art design.

Striping Tape
Sticker nail art includes striping tape. While many people use the striping tape to create different stripes with their nail polish, it can be used as stickers on your nails. The thing to remember about using striping tape on your nails is to trim it the best you can to fit your nail. Tape that hangs over the edge of your nail has more of a tendency to snag or get caught on something and rip off of your nail, ruining your art. There are vast numbers and colours of striping tape available for your use. Again, look online or in stores to find the best deals and the colours you desire.
You can use a couple of strips of striping tape or many strips depending on the look you want to create. This simple, yet refined look above in the picture demonstrates how using just a few strips can really add another element to your nail art design.
