#2 Nail Art - Feminine Flash

After an early start at uni today I popped into town to buy some scotch tape for my next nail art attempt. I wanted to paint a glittery triangle using 'Mystic Mauve', but couldn't decide whether it would look better on a lilac or pink base. In the end I decided to alternate colours, something I haven't done for years! I thought it would look pretty, and show me which colour worked best for future reference.
I started off by cutting strips of scotch tape and layering them over my nails, leaving a bare space in the middle of each nail. I then whacked on liberal amounts of the glitter polish and left to dry. I did one hand at a time, making sure they were completely dry before removing the tape, and it really is as easy as that!


Surprisingly as a left hander my left hand turned out neater, but that is probably because I painted it second so knew what to expect. I am really pleased with my little DIY nail art sesh - What do you think?

  2. Thank you girls! I think I prefer it with the lilac base most, but the pink stands out more. I know I keep ordering things from Hong Kong to pop on my nails! xxx
