Tape Mani!

Hello All!

Today I have a tape mani for you! I haven't done one of those in a while, and it felt good to do one again! Tape Mani's are actually what got me into blogging really, so I sort of feel like I have gone back to my roots!

Okay, So for this mani, I used a base of Sally Hansen's Calypso blue, which was so amazing it got its own post! Than I used a coat of Dazzle Dry top coat, and waited until it was fully dry.

I put tape across my nails, diagonally, and used Petites Zodiac, which is that wonderful purple that you see. I pulled off the tape right away after I painted, that is the trick to getting such perfect lines!

I put on a second coat of Dazzle Dry, waited until that dried fully (About ten minutes or so.. less than that probably) Tape off my nails diagonally again, and added Deborah Lippmann's Don't Tell Mama, which is a super dark blackened teal.. Perfect for my last coat!

Added another coat of Dazzle Dry and voila! There you have it.. and super cute and easy tape mani!

What do you all think?

  1. you're right, that blue is amazing! I think your color choices are great together, and your stripes are SO even! Do the nail tips end up being super thick because of all the extra coats? ALSO... I would like to know (smile) what you use to keep your cuticles so clear of polish?

    1. Thanks!! I love that blue! And no, actually they don't end up being super thick.. Since I only do one coat of the following colors.

      And, I used an angled ELF brush with some acetone for clean up!
