This is a tutorial for the cheerleader nails I was sporting yesterday...
 | Supplies: To do this manicure you will need: - Two contrasting colors, one for the base, one for the tip - Scotch tape (I usually prefer transparent tape, but thought the matte magic tape would be more visible for this. However, the magic tape tends to rip, so I wouldn't not recommend it, if you will be trying this...) - Striping tape of any color - Scissors to cut the tape - Tweezers to handle the striping tape - Qtip or brush w/acetone (not pictured) for cleanup |
 | Starting out: - Start out by applying 2-3 coats of base color and letting it fully dry |
 | Step 1: - Cut the tape to make a 90 degree angle - Place the tape on your nail so that the corner is in the center and facing the tip |
 | Step 2: - Add striping tape on the tip above the Scotch tape |
 | Step 3: - Apply a coat of the contrasting color to the tip |
 | Step 4: - Quickly, but carefully remove both the Scotch and striping tape while the polish is still wet |
 | Step 5: - With an acetone (or nail polish remover) soaked Qtip or brush, clean up around the nail |
 | All Done! - Apply a topcoat and you are done! |
Hopefully you found this useful. Let me know what you think...
