Based on the provided context, a "nail barrier" refers to a peel-off nail tape or similar product used in nail art to protect the skin around the nails from polish. Here's how to apply it:
- Preparation: Ensure your nails are prepped and any base coat is completely dry before applying the nail barrier.
- Application: Apply the peel-off nail tape or liquid latex around your nails, covering the skin you want to protect from polish. Make sure to apply a sufficient amount to create a good barrier.
- Nail Art: Proceed with your nail art application (e.g., stamping, gradients, glitter).
- Removal: Once you're done with your nail art and the polish is dry, carefully peel off the nail barrier. Take your time to avoid tearing. If it snaps and becomes a ball, remove it carefully bit by bit.
