HAPPY St. Pattys DAY!!! *throws confetti & chugs a green beer*

Happy St. Pattys Day you guys!!! I was able to finally get my hands on Nars Zulu at a decent price yay me! It's a GORG dark green jelly *sigh*, so pretty and shiny. What better time to use it then for today's mani :) Again I wanted to use my craft scissors, and thsi is what I came up with.

I started with 2 coats if Zulu and a coat of SV







Then I chose these scissors



and this is how it cuts the tape



I was going for a semi-half moon mani, but with a little twist. So this is how I taped my nails off



I used China Glaze Laser Lime for the semi-half moons










As you may notice, I FINALLY opened a Twitter account, so you can now also keep up with my blog on there. YAY. The linky thing is on the left hand side of the page.

    Zulu is gorgeous. I found Sinful Last Chance & was wondering if it's even close to Zulu.

    that's really lovely, was looking forward to seeing your St Patricks Day mani . I'm in Ireland but have to admit my paddys day mani is subdued - essence" must have ". Might gert time to stamp a shamrock on it before the parade at 3!
    I have craft scissors but the sharpness is not good- was experimenting & they are quite blunt for cutting scotch tape unfortunatley.

    I want to love Zulu but I just don't. One of my pet peeves with polish is colors being so dark they may as well be black. I love the concept of Zulu but it barely looks green in most pictures. I do think this mani is really cute though!

    Zulu is truly one of the most amazing polishes <3 It looks great on you, and your idea using craft scissors is briliant :)

    First I thought it was plain black, but the polish being super dark green is quite cool! And the scissors just offer so many possibilities, I think I might have some somewhere... :)

    Here's the link to my recent tape manicure, I think it got a bit lost in between all those other comments ;)

    I love it! I was so excited to see what you would come up with and it turned out great.

    Oh, and BTW, I tried out the whole licking thing if you smudged your nail polish (from your FAQ page) and even if it tastes bad, it works amazing. So thank you!

    Thanks you guys!!

    Rhonda, it was only 2!! I love this stuff

    Jaybird, I wish I had that one to compare for you :(

    Emer,I actually just read over on Rhondas blog, Nails Boutiqued, that you can sharpen them by cutting foil! Here is the link

    Meeka, I do hear what you are saying, it does annoy me sometimes, but IMO even from afar, this looks green, well as long as your in a well lit place, lol.

    Jackie, haha, thank you so much!!!

    naekubi, thanks! I will be sure I check it out!

    Minty, oh YAY, I'm glad you tried it, and it worked!

    LadyLuck, thanks, I use Scotch Tape brand, Satin finish

    Kelly, thank you so much!!!

      The blog poster doesn't post here anymore. But she uses scotch tape, the one with the plaid green label. If your daughter wants good tips on how to do successful nail designs, have her try Simply Nailogical on YouTube. She has whole videos on how to do nail designs. Good luck!

    How did putting the tape on your nails not peel off the previous coat of nail polish? I'd be afraid that putting something sticky on my nails would just remove bits of the first color.

    Hi, Chloe. I just found your blog through Pinterest and was looking through your whole blog and LOVE your different techniques with nails. I have never really been a girly girl but used to do my nails a lot when younger and am trying to get back into it again- I've decided on Manicure & Pedicure Mondays. I have a definite dumb question for you. What is SV and where do you buy it? It makes that finish AMAZING!

    Thanks!
    Jennifer

    I found your blog via pinterest. Wow, you are a true artist! I loved this look & decided to try & recreate it. I was curious to see if someone with no artistic ability or experience would be able to! I blogged about it here, with a link back to the pinterest pin which links back to your blog. :)

    When you do the designs, do you put a clear coat of SV on before you tape it off and do the design? I tried this and the tape pulled off the clear coat of SV and wasn't sure what I was doing wrong.
