I haven't done posts on this blog for my 2 recent video tutorials I posted on YouTube, so that's what this post will be about.
The first is a green manicure with vertical cut between two colors. You can watch this Green Split manicure video on my YouTube channel, artistrynails.
The second video is a sponging tutorial with a stamp over top. You can watch this White and Green Sponge Gradient with Dots video on my YouTube channel as well.
I hope you guys enjoy!

Neon Abstract
I got so many compliments on this manicure, and when I told those who asked that it was acrylic paint, they were stunned. And I've got to say I'm pretty proud of this design, myself.

Grey with Stripes
So I saw this package of skinny, colored tape on eBay for very cheap and decided to try it. It's called striping tape in the nail art world, and you just stick it on like normal tape!
I have a coat of Wet Cement by Sally Hansen on under the tape.
This is the order I put the tape on
Here's a closer photo of the tape itself:
The only thing about this tape is it doesn't stay on for long, after a few hours even under the best top coat, the ends will start peeling up. I also noticed just with the light blue tape, that it fades in color to silver so after a while it looked like I only used dark blue and silver, instead of all three colors. Maybe that's just the light blue tape I got...
