Based on the provided reference, taping nails, specifically with striping tape, involves the following steps:
- Application: Apply the striping tape to the nail in the desired design.
- Securing the Tape: Ensure the tape is firmly adhered to the nail surface.
- Placement: Position the tape just below where you will apply your top coat to prevent it from lifting.
- Optional Transfer Foil: You can apply transfer foil gel over the striping tape for added design.
This information is derived from a video about applying striping tape and suggests using the tape to create designs on hard gel nails, further secured with top coat and potentially foil gel.
