Nautical Pictorial...Kinda...?

Ok y'all! So I had EVERY intention on creating a pictorial with my Nautical mani I posted yesterday, and I remembered to start to take pictures in between what I was doing, but then...I forgot! :( I know! Terrible! I didn't realize that I had been forgetting to take the pictures until I was almost done with my bows! I worked so hard on the stripes, I didn't want to have to redo it all! So, I apologize for this weak pictorial. lmao. But here it is anyways!

Step 1: Apply 1-2 coats of a white base.

Step 2: Make sure your white base is COMPLETELY DRY before applying your tape. I used 7 pieces of tape, trying to get them all spread out evenly.

Step 3: Paint a layer of red over the tape. I had to do a kinda thick layer of red, because it didn't seem as opaque as I wanted.

Step 4: Work QUICKLY. Remove the tape before your top color (in my case, red) dries. If the polish dries, or gets tacky you may not get clean lines when pulling the tape up.

Again, I'm sorry for the lack of detail in this pictorial. I'll try to do better next time! lol. Paint on ladies!!!
