My hands are never steady when it comes to freehand nail art so i decided i would try something new which would be easier than that. So I decided to do something using paper tape. Ive seen so many people use cellotape for nail art but Ive always felt some of my nail color might come off with the tape when I pull it off so I stuck to paper tape.


Blue and purple are my favorite colors so I decided my first attempt at this would be with these two colors. I know my diagonal lines aren’t perfect but once i start practising regularly Im sure Ill get the hang of it.
