Holo Tape Mani



I love a tape mani and wanted to try one with a holographic polish to add that burst of sparkle and rainbows. I started with a base of Zoya Jacqueline. Then used ordinary sticky tape to tape off sections of nail. The most important thing in using ordinary tape is to first stick it to the back of your hand a couple of times to lose some of the stickiness. It's a little tricky you need enough adhesion to ensure polish doesn't seep underneath the tape but if it's too sticky you risk pulling your base coat off. I then used a England Galahad and EmilydeMolly High Distinction in the taped off areas. Just one thin coat is enough. Top coat it all and you're finished! I love the clean lines of a taped mani and the holo did add a wow factor.

Yay guys half way through the week! It's a little daunting as we are moving very quickly towards Father's Day and I have no idea what I want to buy the 2 most important men in my life. Slow down a little week and give me some time to think :). Tx.
