FIREWORKS
WEEK – Tape Mani – eeeeeek!
Hi Goddesses
Well, praise be, it’s
Thursday! That means tomorrow is Friday
and I do like to consider Friday the official cousin of the weekend. Happy times!
So, I have been a
fan of Nailside for a while. She does
amazing manis, so if you don’t follow her yet, go and check her out, she will
blow your mind! Her signature mani is
what she calls Laser Nails, where she uses really thin strips of tape to create
some cool designs. I tried and failed,
and then someone suggested striping tape and ooooh la la, here we go!
This is basic black
over 2 coats of China Glaze It’s Alive, to create the green of the
fireworks. It’s supposed to be one
quadrant of the glitterama.
The trickiest thing
with the striping tape is how thin it is – there’s barely enough to get Clumsy Crumpet
Fingers around. Then we had the dance of
one lifting off the minute you stuck another down. Oh, how we danced! But it did look amazing when the tape came
off, mainly because if how sharp and crisp the line was.
I’ll be having more
of a play with these soon, but so, not baaaaad for my first proper tape mani J
Enjoy xxx

Top Tip – if you’re
ever unsure what a nail colour looks like, go to Google images, which will give
you plenty of contrasts and compares.
