Gold and holo teal 'Diagonals' tape manicure with tutorial! Feat. China Glaze Passion and HITS Hera

Hello lovelies!

So after a weekend break from blogging I'm back with another tape mani but also with tutorial of how to create it! It's very easy 'diagonals design' which has endless potential for colour combinations. I chose to use HITS Hera, holographic green teal and China Glaze Passion, metallic gold.

Hope you all had a great weekend!

This really reminds me of xmen for some reason! (it's totally the X) I'm surprised the tape doesn't rip on you; when I use small strips like this, it tends to break and get stuck to the nail :O

Very nice combo! Is it important to take of the stripes while the polish hasen't dried yet?

Thank you :)

Thank you so much, i better continue with them then ;)

I always paint the nail and then use topcoat. Then leave to dry and THEN apply tape. The topcoat is the key, I used to have the same problem as you :)

Thank you :)

Thank you! x

Thank you Helena. Yes, that's very important! If you take the strips off straight away you'll have sharper and more precise lines. I always put strips on all nails, then paint first nail, remove strips. Paint next nail, remove strips and so on...
