DIY nail design using tape

This is another tutorial for those who are just starting out with nail art. You do not need any special tools or equipment for this nail design all you need is every day house hold sellotape and scissors.
It is really simple and really easy and you can change the colours to what ever you want.
If you want to glam things up a bit you could use a glitter polish for some sparkle.



For this design I used a pink and a purple nail polish 



Step 1

Paint your lightest colour on as the base colour, wait for it to fully dry before moving onto step 2.



Step 2

Cut a piece of tape and use the corner, stick it on the bottom of your nail with the corner facing up 

Step 3

Paint the second colour over the bits not covered with tape, go onto the tape when painting to achieve a better line.


 Step 4

Peel off the tape after about a minute. when fully dry apply a top coat



This design is so quick and simple, you can move the tape around and put it in different places to change the effect, you could also do a modern french manicure, use a light/pale pink as the base colour then when you apply the tape move it further it and paint the white on top EASY!

I really want to see what you guys come up with so don't forget to tag me on twitter, have fun!

Bye xxxxx
