Preparing Your Nails for Color Street Strips
Before applying your Color Street strips, it's essential to prepare your nails for the best possible adhesion and longest-lasting results.
Start by gently pushing back your cuticles to expose the entire nail plate. Then, use a nail file or buffer to lightly smooth and de-gloss your nail surface. This creates a better surface for the strips to adhere to and enhances the longevity of your manicure.
Choosing the Right Size of Color Street Strip
Color Street offers a variety of strip sizes to accommodate different nail lengths and shapes. To ensure the perfect fit, measure your nail bed and choose the appropriate strip size from our application instructions PDF.
Our strips come in lengths of 10.5mm, 11.5mm, and 12.5mm, catering to nails measuring 2.5mm, 3.5mm, and 4.5mm, respectively. To accurately measure your nail, place a ruler or measuring tape vertically against your nail, ensuring it extends just beyond the tip.
Warming Up Your Color Street Strips
Warming up your Color Street strips before application ensures a more flexible and easier application process. To achieve this, simply hold the strip, glue side down, between your thumb and index finger for about 10-15 seconds.
This gentle heating helps the strip adhere better to your nail, reducing bubbling and ensuring a smooth,áló look. Additionally, warming up the strips allows them to better conform to the shape of your nail, resulting in a more natural and flawless appearance.
Applying Color Street Nail Strips: Step-by-Step
Now that your nails are prepped and you've chosen the perfect strip size, it's time to apply your Color Street strips following the detailed instructions in our PDF guide.
The application process is straightforward and can be broken down into a few simple steps. With a bit of practice, you'll be a Color Street pro in no time, able to achieve stunning, long-lasting nail art at home.
Step 1: Applying the Base Coat
Before applying your Color Street strips, it's crucial to use the prep and base coat provided in your Color Street kit. This formulated base coat acts as a prime-for, ensuring the strips adhere securely and last longer.
Using the included brush or a cotton swab, apply a thin layer of the prep and base coat to your nail, avoiding the cuticle and skin. Allow the coat to dry for approximately 30 seconds before proceeding to the next step.
Step 2: Applying the Color Street Strip
With your base coat dried, it's time to apply your Color Street strip. Begin by aligning the strip with your nail, ensuring it's centered both horizontally and vertically. The tip of the strip should be at the same level as your natural nail tip.
Press the strip firmly onto your nail, starting from the bottom and working your way up. Using the provided orange wood stick or a cuticle pusher, smooth out any wrinkles or bubbles from the center of the strip towards the edges.
Step 3: Trimming and Filing
Once your strip is securely in place, use nail scissors or clippers to trim any excess length from the tip of your nail. Be careful not to cut too short, as this can cause the strip to lift or peel prematurely.
Next, use a nail file to gently smooth out any rough edges or corners, creating a seamless-looking manicure. For best results, use a nail file with a medium to coarse grit, such as a 100/240-grit file.
Step 4: Sealing the Edges
To ensure a secure and long-lasting application, it's essential to seal the edges of your Color Street strip. Using the formula included in your kit, apply a thin layer around the edges of the strip, creating a barrier between the strip and your skin.
Allow the formula to dry completely before proceeding to the final step. This process helps prevent water or moisture from lifting the strip and ensures a more robust, long-lasting manicure.
Step 5: Applying the Top Coat and Finishing
The final step in the Color Street application process is applying a top coat to seal and protect your manicure. This step helps extend the life of your Color Street strips, keeping your nails looking flawless for up to 10 days.
Using the included application brush or a cotton swab, apply a thin layer of the top coat to your nails, paying special attention to the tips. Allow the top coat to dry for approximately 60 seconds before continuing with your daily activities.

With our comprehensive application instructions PDF and a bit of practice, you'll be enjoying beautiful, long-lasting nails in no time.
