Another go at using good old scotch tape =)

Hello!!


I had another go at using scotch tape recently and decided to try out the 'shredded mani', as named by Erika from Chloe's Nails =)  Check out her post here which also includes a tutorial: http://chloesnails.blogspot.com/2010/11/shredded-mani.html


This is what mine ended up as:



I really wish that sometimes I had more patience in me...lol I just didn't wait and so when I added my top coat obviously it smudged =( Oh welll...


Lol anyway I used my new BYS polish in Tinkerbell which is a gorgeous salmon pink with a shot of blue sparkle through it =) After placing my tape on my nails I added MUA nail polish in shade one, which is a super shimmery deep black/blue colour =) Then I ripped the tape off and I was left with this awesome pattern!






It looks really edgy but girly too =) For some weird reason I kept doing the 'Gaga Claw' with my hands cos it just er....seemed to go with this nail design =S




Lol so what do you lot think of this design??

    sooo pretty!!! You cut the tape so perfectly. I want to try this look but use a black crackle polish instead, but I don't know if I have the patience to cut ten pieces of tape like that lol <3

    @Prettyfulz: Thank you so much! =) And wow I reckon crackle polish would look awesome but maybe make the zig-zags on the tape thicker...so the design stays visible =) Lol and that way it'l be easier to cut the tape too!
