Hey everyone!
Today, I’m going to show you a mani that I did for some choir
performances that I was involved in a month ago. It took me a total of three
days to complete it and here’s why. We were super busy, I didn’t have much time
in the evenings to do the entire thing, and it was my first tape mani. I am,
however, really digging the whole tape mani idea. Very simple, very easy.
For the base, I used China Glaze Spontaneous and I let that dry
completely. Aka, a day. :) Then, I used Sally Hansen’s Xtreme Wear Lacey Lilac
with the tape. Jane at Nailside, does some *amazing* work with the tape and I’m
hopefully going to be doing some more of these types’ of mani’s. First time I did it, however, was a complete
fail. :P I can’t stress enough, *wait
for the paint to dry all the way!!!* And making the tape not so sticky is a
good idea too. Like putting it between you’re fingers a couple times. If that
makes sense….
Finally, after the third day, I used Art Deco’s Silver glitter
stripper pen. Brush, but they call it a pen. ^^ I thought it looked really
good, and I apologize for the terrible pic. I am still working on what to do
with the lighting to make an accurate photo. I don’t quite have room to make a
light box, but hopefully, when I move out, I will. :)
So. Have you ever done a tape mani? Was it a success? Was it a
miserable fail like my first time?
In Christ,
Alli
