Nailed It!

This might be one of the smartest things I've seen in a while. My friends (not actually my friends but I wish they were) over at The Beauty Department, cough cough Lauren Conrad..... are all about pretty tutorials. This might be the best one they've ever done, mainly because you can make your nails look awesome and we all know I'm a fan of that. So, yes, I did totally steal this post but you're going to be SO happy I did after you feast your peepers on this beauty.

STICKY SITUATION

It’s really hard to get clean lines when it comes to putting stripes on manicures. I’m going to share a little DIY secret– nail polish on scotch tape. You can cut a perfect line or triangle and get a fun geometric mani. Here’s how it’s done:

1. You’ll need polish, scissors + scotch tape.
2. Apply polish to your tape. Whatever color you want. Let it dry (I allowed 30 minutes just to be safe).
3. Cut strips!
4. Cut triangles.

When you’re done, apply them to a pre-polished nail with the sticky side down. Then give it a good top coat
