Tape Chevron Nails

This is the nail trick that will change your life!
I've seen chevron nails all over the internet and on my quest to find a way to accurately create this look I came across several people who recommended this way.

Step one: Paint your nails your base color.

Step two: While those are drying, paint a strip of scotch tape the color of your stripes.

Step three: Cut the tape into thin strips using silly scissors (the kind that look like mountains)

Step four: Apply the strips to your nails.

Step five: Apply a fast drying top coat and your done!

This page came to be through my finding of a new technique.  It's where you mix one part water, one part paint.  This mixture is put in a spray bottle, and then the magic happens.  When you use brown paint it can make paper look aged.

The quote I chose is, "Don't cry because it's over, smile because it happened," -Dr. Seuss

Materials I used:
Black and Brown Acrylic Paint
Spray Bottles
Old Book Pages
Charcoal and Pencils
Mod Podge
Patterned Paper
Homemade Stamp (string wrapped around cardboard for texture)
Ink Pad
