The Digital Dozen Does...Tape Mani's



It's time for another week with the Digital Dozen! This week we're doing tape mani's! For those of you who don't know, a tape mani is when you use tape (striping or otherwise) to make a design on your nails.  I LOVE the way some people can manipulate tape and make these stellar, super intricate designs BUT...I am not one of them. I lack the patience for one thing and for another, I'm decent at making straight lines with a striping brush so I just never really saw the point.  However, the point of this challenge is to...well...CHALLENGE myself. So I have forced my way through this week for you anyway!  I know some of the other ladies will have AMAZING things for you so you'll just have to bear with me and not judge too harshly. :P

So for this manicure I used the tape to section off the two sides of color, before running a white line over the place where the line was.  I added the yellow stripes kind of as an afterthought and almost wish I hadn't because they're not as bright as I'd intended. I still loved this though and I LOVE the neon nail polishes Funky Fingers is churning out this season. Fabulous. Check out the other ladies work and don't forget to tune in all week long for more tape mani madness!! Colors Used:
 Zoya Purity 
China Glaze Turned Up Turquoise 
Funky Fingers Power Play
 Models Own Nail Art Pen in White and Yellow

    It looks super unique and beautiful! Despite the colour not coming out as bright as you had wanted, i think they turned out really great! It's the stripes that created a whole unique flavour to this nail art! (or at least, it did in my opinion) :D Great job! I love it! ♥
