A straight or curved white strip is up to you and your nail shape, but if you want your nails to appear longer, let the polish curve with your natural nail.
You can use a fine brush or just use the nail polish brush to curve the line.
There have been many ways you can do the same on the internet. Some people do it with stencils, while some do it with tape.
Using tape, you can cut the tape into pieces and stick it onto your nails as per your desired shape. We urge you not to use the normal tape tho. Use a doctored tape as it may keep your base coat intact.
Once done with everything, a topcoat is a must. It helps keep your nail paint intact and last longer. It also gives a glossier, much more natural look to your brand new nails.
