Scotch-Tape Explosion Mani

Friday, November 4, 2011

After seeing a really awesome tutorial on Nailside about using Scotch tape to create an 'Explosion' mani, I decided to try it out myself.

I used Zoya Harlow and Harley as my two colors. Using Harlow was a great idea, since the matte formula made it dry lightning fast. I'm a really impatient person and I wanted to peel back the tape as soon as possible to take a peek at the design.

Since this was my first attempt at it, it's not exactly perfect! My reverse design on my ring finger is super thick, and some of the edges aren't as neat as they could be.

I topped it all off with Seche Vite. I really like this look though, and I will definitely be repeating it in the future!
