Here is how I cut my tape. Before I cut it, I taped it to my palm a few times. I had already had my base color polished on, but didn't get a pic. It was China Glaze Light as Air.
Then I taped it to my nail, and I polished over it, with Sally Hansen Plum Luck.
After I removed the tape, this is what I had, and I LOVED it!
I just repeated the steps for the rest of the nails, and here they all are together! After each nail though, I did cut a new piece of tape. There was a little bleeding, but it was my first attempt at this design, but NEVER AGAIN! lol






Amazing! This looks great, but I imagine it was a PITA.

ReplyDeletei havea question, how long after you put on the base colour do u wait before applying sv ? then, how long after applying sv do you apply the tape ??
ReplyDeleteI apply the SV as soon as I finish my base color, then I wait about 7-10 min max, to apply the tape
