Twinsie Tuesday: Tape Manicure

This week's Twinsie Tuesday features something extremely foreign to me: nail art. *dun dun dun* The theme is a tape manicure and I'd never attempted one before. But like a good twinsie, I gave it the ol' college try. I paired OPI Fly and OPI Did It On 'Em, both from the Nicki Minaj Collection, together for this mani. I turned out much better than I expected, given my incredibly limited nail art skills, but I still don't think it looks too hot.

As you can see, I had a little bit of trouble with some polish seeping under the tape line on my index finger, so I tried to fix that freehand and I think I would up doing more harm than good. That line is seriously wonky-looking. I really like how this color combo turned out but I still have to refine my technique a lot more, although I honestly enjoy seeing other people's art creations much more than I would trying to replicate them myself. This was a fun look to try out for me though because I never would have attempted it on my own. I learned all the way back in elementary school art class that I am "artistically challenged." But a tape mani is straightforward enough that nail art n00bs like me can pull it off...or at least try to haha.

Fortunately though, the Twinsie Tuesday group is full of a lot of incredibly talented nail art fanatics, so I'm sure they came up with some much more impressive tape manicures for today! So check 'em out if you're feeling artsy. ;)
