Choosing Your Weapons: The Best Color Street Sets for a Fang-tastic Look

Prepping Your Claws: Essential Tips for a Long-Lasting Manicure
A smooth canvas is crucial for flawless Color Street application. Follow these prep steps to ensure your spooky mani lasts:
- Cleanse and Shape: Begin by washing your hands thoroughly with soap and water. Next, shape your nails to your desired length and style.
- Push Back Cuticles: Use a cuticle pusher to gently push back your cuticles. This step creates a clean line and prevents the nail strips from adhering to your skin.
- Smooth It Out: Use a nail buffer to gently buff the surface of your nails. This creates a slightly textured surface that helps the Color Street strips adhere better.
- Cleanse Again: After buffing, wipe your nails with a lint-free nail wipe saturated with rubbing alcohol. This removes any dust or residue and ensures a clean, dry surface for application.
Unleashing Your Inner Artist: Applying Your Color Street Fang Manicure
Now for the fun part! Follow these steps to achieve a fang-tastic look:
- Select Your Size: Choose a Color Street strip that fits your nail bed perfectly. It’s better to err on the side of a slightly smaller strip, as you can gently stretch it to fit.
- Peel and Apply: Peel the strip from the backing, starting with the rounded edge. Align the strip with the base of your nail, just above the cuticle, and press firmly to adhere.
- Smooth and Wrap: Smooth the strip towards the free edge of your nail, using your thumb to press firmly and eliminate any air bubbles. Wrap the excess strip around the edge and file away any overhang for a seamless finish.
- Repeat: Repeat steps 1-3 for each nail.
- Fang-tastic Details: Now it’s time to create the fangs! You can do this by:
- Freehanding: Use a fine-tipped nail art brush and black nail polish to carefully paint fang shapes onto your nails.
- Nail Stickers: Look for pre-made fang nail stickers for a quick and easy option.
