I painted all of my nails white and then cut thin strips of tape to lay over each nail at random. Then I painted over with one layer of a color and then lifted off the tape.This one did not turn out like I had imagined in my mind because I did not have proper tape for this style of taping. I used regular scotch tape and cut each piece various sizes of thinness. However, the chemicals in the polish ate at and weakened the tape so that when I tried to pull it up, it would instantly break as if brittle. I ended up tweezering the tape off, bit by bit, and getting polish everywhere on my other hand.

Though I didn't know it at the time, what I needed was tape more resilient, like blue painter's tape or those fancy shiny nail strips.
