fruit slice nail art!

I was browsing on ebay for cheap nail art supplies and came across these adorable little slices of fruit that you can stick on your nails.   So for $1 free shipping and about 20-30 days of waiting my little envelope arrived from china containing a baggy of 250 slices of fruit! 

Since it's been feeling like spring lately, I finally decided to try them out!

black cherry chutney (opi)

This is the color that came along with the 'manicurist of seville'. It is a deep purply red.  I added the overlapping gold ring designs for what I think are some chic and fancy nails!

Sometimes I will get lucky and find sets of Opi polishes in tjmaxx for an amazing price.  This color is a beautiful sangria red! so I just added a small gold heart.  

Kiss Nail Dress

So I  got these nail stickers, they are about $6.99 a pack and if you cut them before putting them on you can get way more than one use out of the pack.  They are pretty easy to apply also and supposedly last up to 10 days.

This one is called 'Gown' it is very sparkly, bubbly, and colorful.

how to use tape in nail painting

Make sure the the tape is pressed flat against your nail surface to ensure a clean line. 

Allow each layer to dry fully to allow the tape to peel off without ruining what you have painted. 

I suggest using a fast drying top coat in between layers, a la 'seche vite'.

I started with a white nail and taped off the tip.  Then I covered the bottom half in silver and made the lines in a light blue then a dark blue polish.  I finished it off with a blue line across the top of the lines and a coat of clear :)
