How to do STRAIGHT STRIPS

It's possible to do a different thing on the wall just using masking-tape and emulsion, for example STRIPS.
The emulsion can be matt, satin or even semi-gloss finish, just the colours must match with each other.

To make your strips straight on the wall there's no secret.
Instead of just putting the masking tape there and apply the paint on it, we need to be careful with the quality of the finish that we would like to have on that wall.
If we apply directly the paint with a different colour on the area that we put the masking tape on, we are not going to have a straight line, because this paint will enter in between the masking tape and the wall. To avoid this issue, we aply first on the edges of the masking tape, the same paint that we used as background, then this one will fill all the gaps in between the masking tape and the wall.

After this application dries we can start the second application with colours on the wall, and these ones are not going to be in the gaps, because it is already filled.

Here we have the example of this beautiful application:

1st step - Masking Tape on the wall and paint on its edges.
 
2nd step - After it dries we can come and apply the colours:

3rd step - Just take off the masking tape, and be surprised by your perfect and straight strips:
