Nails decorated with metallic tape

The metallic nail polishes are here to stay. After them emerged various techniques and textures of nail polish that promise to let your nails shine. We tested nail decoration using the metallic tape as the main accessory.

Each day comes a new technique, a new nail polish or a new nail trend, so you need to use creativity to create something that has your style. The technique we choose allows the person not only to choose the colors that best suit them, but also the shape and place chosen for the decoration.

You can improvise with the gift wrapping tape we use and it is easily found in stationery and craft stores (average price $ 2.00 a pack). If you want to make the technique even easier, opt for the self-adhesive foil tape for nail decoration.

They already have their own glue that facilitates the decoration process, and can be found in cosmetics stores or on the internet (average price of $ 16.00 the kit with various colors). The enamel used for the base will be your choice, we opted for Revlon Black Lingerie (average price R $ 19,00). Check out the photos of the materials used to decorate nails with metallic tape:

The first step is to cut the strips into strips. Measure the size of your nails and leave a leftover on both sides for easy application. After that, apply a layer of the chosen enamel and wipe the excess with toothpick, cotton and acetone.

Apply a second layer of creamy glaze and with the glaze still wet apply the tape as you wish (diagonal, vertical, horizontal). It is important to remember that the decoration has to be done one nail at a time so that the nail polish does not dry and the tape fixes better.

The second part is the finishing. Cut off the leftover strips on either side of the nails with the aid of pliers. It is worth remembering that the tape has to be cut correctly so that there are no leftovers on the sides.

To finish, apply a layer of extra shine carefully on all nails to increase the durability of the decoration and wipe the excess with toothpick, cotton and acetone.
