Beauty: Nail Update

Status: Lots of compliments, so much fun!
Time: like an hour, because I'm horrible at painting nails
Cost: nothing! i borrowed my roommate black nailpolish
Original Pin:




The Result:


So I'm not all that talented with painting my nails...but it turned out alright considering. Over my existing nail color, I taped off the top part, diagonally. over that I painted the tip black. It was great because I didn't need to be super careful with painting. However I didn't think about how tape kind of bubbles, which is why some of the paint isn't all that even. Also, if you try it, make sure that you peel the tape off  really carefully, at an angle! Also do it while the second color is still wet, or you'll peel some of what's on your nail off!

Happy manicuring!!
