Scotch tape is my best friend!

Sorry guys, here I am reposting from my old blog! I'm quite proud of this mani, so I thought what better way to start? I apologise in advance for any poor quality photos, I'm afraid I am not armed with a Canon or the best quality phone, but I have certainly tried my best for now - it's my promise to you all that I will improve!
It's come to my realisation that many nail bloggers/intagrammers have a particular forte! To be quite honest, all their work seems pretty damn amazing to me. But mine would be my love for tape mani's! Yup. A simple strip of scotch or striping tape can go a long way.  Well, for me personally anyway as I'm constantly on the move and I simply don't have the time these days :( ... But you can never go wrong with double colours.

For tape mani's especially, I really recommend using Ciate polishes! I for one, am very impatient. Boy, oh boy, if I had the photographic evidence of my failed tape manis purely down to being too giddy to get creative! But seriously, Ciate! Even though the application is quite sheer and needs a couple of coats, it dries sooo quickly!

This mani I managed to rock for a few days without any chipping! (please excuse my small nick) ... I've used Ciate - Cookies and Cream and Rimmel Lycra Pro - Fancy Fuchsia, both of which I adore!! The colourful rhinestones can be bought in wheels, cheaply through Amazon. The Lycra Pro and the Salon collection are amazing. Like literally, it just glides on, the application utterly smooths itself out.

Until next time :)
