Metallic Stripe Mani

Cara's Nails

This latest manicure is inspired by my desire to try out my new striping tape. Unfortunately, I didn't purchase the tape in time for the Maynicure Taping Challenge so I went with a scotch tape manicure instead. I really like the contrast of the metallic green tape against the dark blue which is my latest find Joined at the Hippo by Ulta Professionals.
