Artsy Wednesday - Stripes!

Today's artsy wednesday theme is stripes so I went with a silver and gold combination. I used 1 coat of Barry M's Silver and Gold Foil effects and then used silver and gold striping tape purchased on ebay for less than 20 cents! It was very very simple to do and i'm glad because I tried THREE other striped manicures before this one but i was impatient and didn't want to wait for my polish to fully dry so I gave up and then decided on this one and I think it looks MUCH better than my previous designs! Check these photos out :-)

  5. This looks very elegant. :) I love nail tape but it always lifts up at the edges for me.

  6. Very classy! When I've tried using nail tape, it tends to peel really quickly - do you have that problem too?
