I couldn't decide which colour combination to use - this is what I love about all these posts I have done over the past few weeks - the combinations are endless.
I cannot wait to go back and revisit all the designs with different colour combos! :-)
Today's nail-art was fairly easy when I got the hang of cutting the tape into little triangles.

| Pink base: OPI All Kendall-ed Up. Top colour: Essie Chinchilly |
What you need:
Sticky tape
Scissors to cut tape
2 colours - 1 base, 1 top colour
1 Topcoat
- Paint your nails with 2 coats of the lighter colour. Allow to dry very well. (Choose the lighter colour as the base because your last coat is only 1 coat and if it is lighter than the base, the underneath colour shines through - I learnt this after swapping the colour combos on my other hand.)
- Cut sticky tape into long, skinny triangles and stick to each nail on the 1 hand (You don't want to let the tape stick onto your nail for too long, it leaves traces of glue behind.)
- Paint 1 coat of the darker colour over your nails.
- Peel the tape off before the polish becomes tacky - otherwise it makes "melted cheese off a pizza" strands.
- Repeat on the other hand.
- Finish off with a top coat to give the nail a smooth finish
The professional result:
