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??
♥♥♥
Very funky indeed! you just used scotch tape?! like the colors and the black really makes it stand out...defo edgy like you said! looking forward to seeing more looks :D

@jos xx: Awwe thanks so much =) I don't have any patience at all and this design took soo little time! The only time consuming thing was cutting the tape lol but the rest was done in a few minutes =)
♥♥♥
Very cute!!!
Thank you!! =)
Ooh that's very cute!
I never tried to use tap i think i am lazy to cut it to size heheheheh.It looks really nice i may try it. About your question i answer already on the blog a bit long heheheh :)
Think I'll need to get myself some scotch tape - they look great!
@Jane: Aw thanks!
@Beauty Shades: Haha you did the newspaper mani that took so much patience...so i'm sure you'l manage this!! And i'l pop over there nd check it out =)
@Melinda Stella: Lol thank you!
♥♥♥
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!
