Well, this was one of my first real attempts at a "tape mani."Unfortunately, I was a little too impatient with the drying polish and rushed the process too much, hence the terribly ragged black lines. However, like I said in the title, I really liked this color-combo and design, I just executed it badly.
Essence
Dress For a Moment is the base color; it is actually more lilac in real life than it shows in my photo. I used Wet 'n' Wild
Black Creme as the black and Color Club
Revvvolution for the tips (which you all know how much I love).
So, what do you think? Do you have any tips for me?
Its a great first attempt - you just need more practice! You should have seen some of my first tape manis - Soooooo messy! You've done really well!
ReplyDeleteMake sure your tape is well secured down and you should be able to get a really sharp line :)
Well done :)
Also, I've discovered that you get a sharper line if you pull the tape off before the polish is dry.
ReplyDeleteThanks for the pointers! I really want to try this again soon and get it right haha
ReplyDeleteI think the design idea is AMAZING... It looks sooooo good. Your lines aren't that bad!
ReplyDeleteI love it.. have you ever used striping tape instead of regular tape? It doesn't stick as much and it's cheap. Just have to have a steady hand and stay in the lines :)
ReplyDelete@Manicured Monkey, like blue painter's tape? I'm sure my dad has some laying around that I could "borrow"... ;)
