My first time with striping tape

Hey guys 

It's been a while. I've been pretty busy with work and uni but I finally had some time to myself so what better to do than do my nails?!

I recently found out about striping tape after seeing a beautiful design by thenailluxxe
And so I had to go get some for myself. I bought some from eBay. I got a set of 10 for only £1.99 and surprisingly it was a UK seller so I didn't have to wait for ages!



I had been looking for something like this to produce thin fine lines but had no idea what it was called.
I decided to use a dark blue shade by Revlon and a white by Barry M.



The tape can get a bit fiddly and requires patience as you need each individual layer of nail polish to have dried properly.
But it's all worth it!
