Nails: Grey Stripes and Bar Glitter

Not usually a fan of bar glitter but think it makes these nails look a bit more interesting. Inspired by @margaritasnailz on Instagram.

Review: Born Pretty Store - 4Pcs Rose Gold Striping Tape*

This comes in a package which contains four rolls of nail striping tape.

Each roll is individually wrapped.

It comes in two rolls of 1mm, 2mm and 3mm.

Three of the rolls are a matte, slightly textured glitter and the other roll is a shiny and a rose gold colour.

This set is quite versatile because you could use it various ways. Firstly you can use it to create a straight line in a nail art.

As soon as you have painted the other polish on you need to peel off the tape to create a crisp line.

You can of course also use the tape as an accent as I have done in the following nail art;

26 Great Nail Art Ideas: Reciprocal Gradient

I've never done a reciprocal gradient before and while I think it worked, next time I wouldn't use a peel off base coat as the liquid latex and the striping tape kept trying to pull away the polish.

Then and Now Throwback Nails: Nautical Theme

I haven't done a then and now throwback nails for a while. It is interesting to look back at how much I have learned and improved upon over the past seven years of nail blogging.

Back in 2011 I did these nautical themed nails, looking at these I am pretty sure I freehanded the stripes as well as the anchors. Also these are that old I can't find the blog post I shared them in because I didn't tag things in a coherent way then!

Base Polish: Models Own - True Blue

Today I used striping tape to create a more straight line, although the top coat dragging is very frustrating! I also stamped both the the anchors rather than freehanding them.
