Checkers anyone??

As you all know, I love using Scotch tape for my manis. Well I wanted something new, and that's when this came to mind. I used Orly Luxe and Sinfuls Black on Black. I absolutely LOVE this, and can't wait to try it with other colors. Below I also posted step by step pics, for anyone who wants to try this.



Remember to only do 1 nail at a time. I taped off the nail like so...


Then added my gold


Once you pull the tape off, you go on to do the rest of your nails, and add a coat of SV



Then I wait about 10 minutes, and then taped my nail off like so...


Added the gold...


Then pulled the tape off, as soon as I was done with the gold. Go on and finish the rest, adding a coat of SV again, when you're done


This was my final result!!

  20. what kind of tape do you use?
    doesn't it ruin the nail polish?

    ReplyDelete
  21. Valerie, I use Scotch Tape brand, satin finish mainly. Here is a tut. I did, that should help. I do the same process for all my manis.
    http://chloesnails.blogspot.com/2010/09/how-to-my-french-funky-french-and-other.html

    They key is sticking the tape to your palm a few times first, so it removes some of the stickiness, and doesn't remove your base polish :P

    ReplyDelete
  22. Thanks, the checkers is one of my fave to do!!

  31. I've tried to polish my nails like this, but when I put tape on my nails and I remove it but then the nailpolish was screwed.. do you have a special way so the polish is quick dry or something?

    nice blog :)
    xoxo

    ReplyDelete
  32. Irene, No the only thing I use is SV in between each layer :) Are you also making sure to stick the tape to your palm a few times first, to remove some of the stickiness?

    ReplyDelete

    1. Thanks, it's Seche Vite, an amazing top coat :)

      Delete
  47. How does the nail polish not come off underneath when you pull the tape off? Do you ever use a base coat?

    ReplyDelete
    Replies
    1. I use a coat of SV in between each step, and it dries super fast, and also sticking the tape to my palms a few times beforehand helps remove most of the stickiness :)

      Once in a while I will use Gelous for my base coat
