WOW! The are lovely.
How did you get all the diagonals so even, and is that tape in between?

I seem to have wonky eyes, wonky fingers and the DTs all the time so haven't managed to get a diagonal that isn't all a bit random;)

I used masking tape first to tape off the bottom part of the nail. If you aim for roughly the same angle when you put the tape on you should end up with even diagonals. Then I took the tape off, let it dry, added the glitter and then added the striping tape to tidy the line up.

Striping tape... http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/12PCS-STRIPING-TAPE-LINE-NAIL-ART-DECORATION-STICKER-/390343449669?pt=UK_Health_Beauty_Nails_Manicure_Pedicure_CA&hash=item5ae2485c45#ht_5089wt_1060

Ha, ha! I also have just purchased some striping tape too, along with some dotting tools which I have been after for a while but never been bothered to order.

I am impressed, love doing tape manis but get narked off with my rubbish lines, the tape will disguise this nicely!

Morning all,

The red was a Barry M 150 over Orly forever crimson. The Barry M was a lend off a friend.

Tried the other Barry M this morning. Not nearly as lovely.

That's Barry M 150 added to my wishlist.

Ida & Tyger, I'm not taking the blame for all your purchases! I provided a link to some stamping tape only, I'm not accepting responsibility for rhinestones, konad plates and dotting tools

I may have accidently ordered some stamping plates last week, a monster bundle! Arrived this morning. Will have some fun trying that lot out! Will have to wait until next week though as this week is water transfers!

going to have a test run tonight and hopefully my union jack ones will arrive tomorrow/thursday and I'll get them all done ready for friday!! Such a busy nail schedule!!! lol

Loving all your nails at the moment btw ladies. Am extremely jealous of your skills!
