I use nail guides usually to do my French nails and I've seen people use scotch tape for different designs so I decided to try it.
I painted on a base coat first then painted the light green in two coats. I made sure it dried all the way every time then cut the strips of tape in whatever shape I wanted. You can see I tried lots of different stuff. I put the tape on my hand to get a little of the sticky off and made sure to press them on really good and left extra so I could peel it off. Once I got them stuck on I painted one coat of dark green. I pull anything like that off right after I paint it but I take my time and peel slowly. Sometimes the polish is a bit thick and it kinda does like a melted cheese thing if you get what I mean. I've never tried letting it dry but I see the nail guide instructions tell you to do that. After I did all that I put the top coat on.
From left to right their names are:
Sally Hansen diamond strength base and top coat (I'm not completely sure on the name but you get the idea)
Gargantuan Green GrapeAmazon...Amazing
Sally Hansen Insta-Dri
I really love all of these polishes and it was a lot of fun experimenting with the tape.
