STICKY SITUATION

It’s really hard to get clean lines when it comes to putting stripes on manicures. I’m going to share a little DIY secret– nail polish on scotch tape. You can cut a perfect line or triangle and get a fun geometric mani. Here’s how it’s done:

1. You’ll need polish, scissors + scotch tape.
2. Apply polish to your tape. Whatever color you want. Let it dry (I allowed 30 minutes just to be safe).
3. Cut strips!
4. Cut triangles.

When you’re done, apply them to a pre-polished nail with the sticky side down. Then give it a good top coat!
