Hi, everyone!
I have been obsessed with wanting Burberry print nails. I have seen nail foils for them, but foils are about $8/set and I would rather buy polish or stamping plates with that! So, I poked around online and took a look at how other people were doing it. I decided to try out recreating the print with nail tape.
I bought a ton of nail tape from eBay - about 30 rolls for $4 (now that's a deal!) - and grabbed one of my very favorite colors, L'Oreal Walk on the Beach.
There's plenty of tape on each roll, so they turned out to be perfect for experimenting.
Then, I went to it. I used two coats of Walk on the Beach for a base and added the nail tape.
So...this turned out to be, um, not the best idea. It took me so long to get the nail tape on (in retrospect, I should have cut each of the pieces in advance). And then, I didn't cut the nail tapes well enough so pieces were pulling up in a very short time.
Sigh...
Well, I don't give up easily so I may either track down those nail foils or figure out another method. Hmm...thinking cap, activated!
See you later, Konaddicts! If you've got cold and stormy weather, I hope you stay safe and sound!

Amazing design!:) I bought that kind of rolls from eBay, too:)
Too bad the tape gave you trouble because it turned out nice!
Aren't they fun! They're so cheap that it seems "safe" to experiment with them.
Thanks! I'm a picker, too, so any loose ends, I pick at until I ruin it...
