MY AWESOME BEAUTY contest: Tape recreation #2


Hello everyone!

MY AWESOME BEAUTY is hosting a nail art contest with deadline today... This time, she has two other tape nail art designs for us to recreate. The task is to recreate one or both of  her tape designs, and take good photos of them. And if we choose to do both designs, we compete for both prizes, so I will have my next entry ready soon. The prizes are the entire TL Design fall collection (8 polishes) and TL Design's future pastel collection! To read everything about the contest, and see the two tape designs, click here. You can find the tutorials in the "HOW TO" section, where you also can learn about photography, and see the other tape designs Sophie has made.

This bright and colorful tape manicure is my first entry for this competition. I wanted to make a colorful version of Sophie's design. I will call it "Tape recreation #2" because I recreated one of Sophie's tape designs (3 triangles) for the competition that she hosted in April, so that is the first one.

Nail polish used:

H&M: I'm not a kiwi (yellow/green)

And I got a chance to try my striping tape.

I think I need these contests to get started with nail art. This kind of tape nail art might seem easy, and I thought so before I started, but it was really difficult. First to choose colors and the right formula on the first, second and third polish. And then to place the tape correctly. And then to put a top coat on without ruining everything... Do you have any advice about how to not ruin nail art with the top coat?

Now I have to start writing about the other tape manicure.

On Safari: Adventure Red-y

Hello again girlies and welcome to my new followers. This is another On Safari swatch. We're coming to the end of the polishes I own from this collection. I'm sad to see them go, but I'm also looking forward to doing some nail art that isn't tribal. I'm running out of unique tribal designs. :)



This is Adventure Red-y. I'm not usually one for red, but I love this color! I don't know what it is about Adventure Red-y that is so different from all the other reds I've tried but there's just something so unique that makes it amazingly eye-catching.


I had no problems getting full coverage with just two coats. It also went on smoothly with no bubbles or pulling up. I did have problems with drying time but I give credit for that to the heat and humidity around here.




I love this design and it looks so great in these pictures. However, in person it was impossible to see unless you were nose to my fingers.




The black design darkened this pretty red to something that I just couldn't be happy with ... no matter how much I loved the design.


Still, this is one of the only reds I will use on my nails so that has to say something. If you haven't picked it up yet I definitely recommend doing so. :)
