Nailed it!

Today I was reading through my regular blogs and I came across this. I have long been amazed at the designs that The Dainty Squid creates on her nails and wished I could do the same, wondering what her secret was! Nail art classes? The steady hand of a sniper? Magic? And now she has revealed it's scotch tape! (Sellotape for all the non-americans)
I was instantly eager to try this technique out! Here's my attempt:


Revlon Super Top Speed Polar Pink
No7 Stay Perfect Betty Blues
w7 Diamon Top Coat
Sellotape 




I never dreamed it was so achievable! I decided to start with something fairly simple as I didn't have an small scissors anywhere, in hindsight I think it maybe wasn't smart to go to the edge of the nail as it was very hard to trim the ends evenly. I have a sneaking suspicion it might peel off in an hour or two if I'm not careful.

Anyway, give it a go and see what happens! And check out more of The Dainty Squid's polish adventures, they are awe-inspiring!
