Tutorial: Scotch Tape Nails

Hello,

How is everyone doing? I hope all of you are having an awesome time. I am changing the way I used to do tutorials. So instead of having individual pictures and steps, I will have one big picture showing all the steps. I switched to this method because it is very convenient to pin (Yay! for pinterest lovers) the tutorial. I hope you guys like this new method.

I got many requests for the scotch tape tutorial so here is the tutorial for my beloved fans. Steps of the tutorial are at the bottom. This mani is very easy to do. All you need is scotch tape and scissors. Also, you need to have time in your hands and a lot of patience.

You can check my previous scotch tape nails here and here.

Steps:

1. Apply polish on you nails and tape the bottom one-third of the nail. Make sure the polish is completely dry otherwise the tape will ruin the polish. Also, make sure that the tape is not too sticky. 
2. Apply the polish of different color (second color) on the nail. The polish will only cover the remaining two-thirs of the nail.
3. Remove the tape as soon as you finished applying polish. Do not let the polish dry.
4. Repeat the Step 1 and cover the bottom two-third of the nail with the tape.
5.  Apply the polish of different color (third color) on the nail. The polish will only cover the top one-third of the nail.
6. Repeat Step 3 and apply top coat.

Items used: 
Polish: Zoya Ibiza, China Glaze For Audrey, and Essie School of Hard Rocks
Top Coat: Seche Vite
Others: Scotch Tape and Scissors

I will appreciate any suggestions or comments.

Thanks for looking.

Scotch Tape Nails

Hello,

How is everyone doing? I am little sad as I twisted my ankle while walking down the stairs yesterday. Clumsy me. I am feeling much better today but still have to rest for one more day. Enough jabbering, now onto nails. I love scotch tape nails but they are pain to do. They are not hard to do, it's just the waiting time that gets me. I hope you guys like it.

For this, I applied 2 coats of China Glaze For Audrey. Then waited for it to completely dry and placed a scotch tape covering one-third of the nail at the bottom and applied Essie School of Hard Rocks. I removed the  scotch tape when the polish was still wet as it doesn't give thick edges. After School of Hard Rocks dried, I again applied a scott tape covering the two-thirds of the nail at the bottom and applied Zoya Ibiza and removed the tape when the paint was still wet. It is very important to have nail polish completely dry before you apply scott tape otherwise the polish will stick to the tape when you will try to remove it and will ruin your manicure.

Black and White Challenge Day 7

Hello,

This is my seventh post for the Black and White Nail Challenge. The theme for today's nails was to create a manicure using black, white, and glitters. I am still not feeling well but much better than yesterday. Yesterday, I was so miserable that I went to doctor first thing in the morning and I can see a little improvement. Hopefully tomorrow will be better.


For this, I applied 2 coats of Essie Blanc. Then waited for it to completely dry and placed a scotch tape covering one-third of the nail at the bottom and applied Zoya Trixie. I removed the  scotch tape when the polish was still wet as it doesn't give thick edges. After Trixie dried, I again applied a scott tape covering the two-thirds of the nail at the bottom and applied Wet N Wild Black Cream and removed the tape when the paint was still wet. It is very important to have nail polish completely dry before you apply scott tape otherwise the polish will stick to the tape when you will try to remove it and will ruin your manicure.
