Scotch Nails

After doing this post I questioned why I didn't include nail polish in my blog name considering I'm OBSESSED with them. I literally change colors every week and people at work know to come to me for a polish touch up. Today during my lunch break I decided to do something different. I'm not too experienced with designs although I LOVE them.

For one of my first attempts I figured I'd try something simple. SCOTCH NAILS!!!

Yeah, I'm not sure if that's the actual name but Scoth Tape being my co-partner seemed right. So let's begin...

 

Nail Polishes:

• Wet Seal Venice Pink (Made up the name since there was none, becoming a habit)
• Salley Hansen Stocking Nude
• Salley Hansen Insta-Dri Top Coat

 

 

Apply 2-3 coats of the Venice Pink, I did 3 coats because it was still a little transparent. Then let it dry!

 

 

..........falalalalala...........



I LOVE this pink.
 



 
Once it's dry, Scotch tape time. Take a strip of the tape and rip it into your preference of how many lines you'd like. I did 3 semi-skinny strips. Then you place them WHEREVER. Best part about this is there is no wrong way to do it. It's abstract nail art! (TIP: Try not to cover too much of an area with the tape. You'll have large awkward gaps of pink. Not cute)
 



 
Now just go back and paint over the nail with the Stocking Nude.



 
Voila!
 
 

Looks orange out in the sunlight but not too shabby for my first time!

 

Good luck and if you have any tips to make this easier COMMENT below. I'm thinking actual REAL nail polish tape next time but hey, what are you gonna do!
