I always wondered how you got the clean lines. I thought you were putting the tape right on your nails, like painters tape, and then removing it. This makes so much sense, thanks for sharing!
I've seen this idea before, but I've never tried it. I think it would actually be perfect for me because I hate waiting for a second coat of polish to dry. This way I can get all the drying except for the top coat done at the same time.
This is a REALLY cool idea! I have a hard time painting my nails just one color– nevermind nice designs! But this seems like something I may actually be able to do! Love it!!
So excited that you posted about this (I know I asked, and I'm sure plenty of other people did, too)! Your nail art (and the color combos) are always a huge inspiration for me.
what happened to the post you had up yesterday showing the blue/brown manicure using this tape technique? i came back to personally emulate this look and the post is gone 🙁
I'll admit it, when you said you decorated your nails with scotch tape I was like WHAT?! But no really, this is a great idea! Will be trying it soon…ahem, if I can stop biting my nails first 😛
have you tried the sandwich bag method? If you paint a design with polish on a plastic bag, let it dry, then peel it off with tweezers and lay in on your nail, topcoat. Homemade nail wraps 🙂
I didn't know you used this method. I've seen many use this technique but I thought you did it differently. Thanks for sharing now I know you get your shapes to look so sharp and precise!
This just gave me an idea! Have you ever tried using washi tape on your nails? I wonder if that could work in a similar way, now I am going to have to experiment
What an amazing idea! Yet another nail idea of yours that I'm envious of… I don't know if I would have the patience to cut those tiny pieces of tape or not, but I guess it's worth a try, right?!

Oh, sometimes I do that! Just not with this kind of nail design where I'm making shapes. But for clean lines that what I do.
That is amazing!thanks for the tip
I had no idea that you used tape to make those awesome shapes! Im going to have to give this a try!!
Your nails are always so flawless!
Lovely. c:

I've been wanting to try this for awhile now but I just have no time to do my nails fancy lately! So cool looking though. 🙂

That is genius! Never would have thought to paint the tape!
That is so clever, what a nifty idea for getting pretty nails ^_^ Definitely having a bash at this.

why have I never thought to do this!! Genius. Will be trying it out later.
These nail arts are cool! I'll recommend it to my friends.
A great scotch tape method for perfect shaping.
This is such a good trick I can't wait to try it out!
Ah! It all makes sense now. I too thought you were cutting out shapes and painting over them on the nail.
I do love your nails, they always look funky..
Great idea! Must give it a try (although I have been known to have the world's shakiest hands ever!) Meabh
