Hi there! I missed yesterdays post, eek. I was busy doing some back to school shopping. I also wanted to get some preparations for my parents who generously are daycare for my son. Yesterday’s task was stripes, so I did a tape mani.
I started with two coats of OPI Fit For A Queensland. I taped off sections of my nails with varying widths of tape. Then, I painted OPI Tomorrow Never Dies. When I pulled off the tape some of FFAQ peeled off with it. To remedy this, I carefully repainted some of the FFAQ stripes.

Tape manis seem so easy to do, but I have still not mastered the technique. I think I’m too impatient to let my base coat dry fully before applying the tape. I have tried both transparent gift wrap tape and blue painters tape. Both seem to pull up the polish underneath. I need to try drying drops or a quick dry top coat before laying the tape. I’ll let you know what works in a future post.
