Cute Nail Designs Using Painter's Tape

I've been having fun using painter's tape to create 

different designs on my nails :) 

The painter's tape (I got the weakest one) 

doesn't stick to my nail polish as long as I let the polish 

dry for about an hour.  

Create an X with the tape for the criss cross pattern, 

or lay the tape in a tic-tac-toe pattern to create small squares...

Easy Summer Nails - Sharpie Nails

Um, so yeah. I drew all over my nails with neon colored sharpies. 

I had to let the white nail polish dry for about an hour before

I could draw on them without the marker sticking to the polish

Added glitter top coat for some shine

The markers were brand new but a little dry

maybe next time I will try the nail art pens, this is what they're meant for after all!

:)

Have you ever tried drawing designs on your nails? 

If you're good at it maybe you can come over and do my right hand because I cannot draw anything more than a crooked jagged line using my left hand!

This was fun though!
