Nail Striping Tape Mani

2
COM

Considering I was sobbing through most of this mani, I'm shocked how well it came out. Especially for my first try with nail striping tape.

Why was I sobbing? Two words: Les Miserables. 
I'm SO glad I did not go to the theater for that movie.

In any case, this has:
China Glaze "White on White"
with a pink ombre done with Nina Ultra Pro "Punki Pink"
and ORLY "Liquid Vinyl" on top.

And the nail striping tape I ordered from China...or rather the absence of nail striping tape.

Based on another tutorial over on that blog I posted this weekend, I tried another nail trick. This one involves scotch tape. And it's AWESOME. I chose a dark blue and a silver for this look (Aiden's colors!). I don't have the exact brands/hues with me (post a comment if you want to know) but any high contrast pairing should work well, and probably some that aren't high contrast. As with the last trick, make sure your first coat is dry before applying the tape and also that the second coat is dry before pulling off the tape.
