This is a little older mani, it was my first experiment with striping tape as part of the mani and not just as a tool for a tape mani.
I liked it alright, but I need to figure out a way to keep that tape DOWN. Even after having done it a few times, I cannot keep that tape from peeling up.
I ripped those suckers off almost as soon as the camera was put down!
Zoya Veruschka, Pink Striping Tape and CND Raspberry Sparkle Effects.
We've got a few days off from Challenges (technically I have a corset mani to do for the 52 week Challenge but I'm kinda not feelin' it...shhh don't tell).
So today I'm gonna bring you some random pics!
This is Biscuits, and she loves to be involved in everything we do. Here she is helping Daddy put Mommy's new Melmer together. That's right - I have reached Melmer status! Almost 2 Melmer status actually!
