I feel like it's been FOREVER since I've done my nails. I've been really busy around the house lately. I did these late yesterday after cleaning the house off and on all day. I really wanted to use my new Secluded Beach, but I didn't want to waste it on a boring paint job, so I decided to wait since I didn't have the brain power for anything too fancy. I was tired!
So... I'm not the hugest fan of black nails. But I think that the flesh gaps and glequins make all of the difference because I'm really digging these! I think I've finally found a way to wear black and like it! They look really nice in person and even though they all match, they are NOT boring. I am pleasantly surprised! I think I will try something similar closer to Halloween. In black and orange, obviously. 😃
So these were pretty easy. I just cut tape into squares and put the corner edge down, painted black over it, and pulled it off. Most of my lines came out crisp, but even if they hadn't it wasn't a big deal since I was going to cover the edges with glequins anyway. I also think that colored striping tape (now available at Wal-Mart!) would look nice instead of glequins. I just don't have luck with getting that stuff to stick down for more than a day or two. And once it starts peeling up, I pull it off, so the whole paint job is usually ruined pretty fast. I really like the way that stuff looks, but I tend to avoid it for that reason. 😕
