Following the current theme of simple nail designs, here is one in which is simple yet can be a little complicated. As discussed in detail in my post about inverse nail designs, I used tape in this design as well. Please review that post for explicit instructions as to how to handle tape prior to placing  it on the bed.

Onto this nail design of turquoise and light purple. These are two of my favorite colors and I think that they go together oh so well. First I prepped the tape segments by cutting random sizes of triangles. Then I painted a thick layer of turquoise.

Once the turquoise was completely dried, I laid the triangular pieces of tape down on top at random angles. A key here is to let a portion of the tape fall off the nail so that you can easily grab them with a pair of tweezers. I painted two nails at a time with a rather thick coat of light purple so I did not see any turquoise through except for the cutout areas. Quickly, I lifted up the triangular pieces of tape then moved on to the next two nails.

Again, these were really simple. The only thing that they cost is time because the coats of polish are rather thick. To combat this issue, I used Julep’s quick drying drops. They work really well and aid in the nail polish drying process. The final thing was I topped with a light top coat of shimmer clear polish to seal the colors and give some shine.

I hope you enjoy and let me know how these nails go!
