Nail fails

We all have them, most are too embarrassed to show them. Well, I've decided every nail fail that I have, I will be taking pics and posting them on here.

When I started my adventures into nail art 5 months ago I was totally clueless. I relentlessly searched Pinterest, Tumblr, and nail blogs looking for easy nail art to do. It always looks easy in the pictures! File these under: WHAT WAS I THINKING?!

Nothing to disclose

My first adventures with striping tape. I'm stubborn, and I don't like to watch tutorials or read if I think I can accomplish it on my own. I thought it was a good idea to try to tape ALL of the strips of tape off at one time, not one by one. Big mistake. Bad color combo, I hadn't discovered HK girl top coat yet so it smeared..just bad!! I also hadn't discovered clean up yet.

You know when you picture something in your head and it's like "wow, I bet that would look great!" That's what happened here. I don't think yellow and red should ever go together unless it's on a hot dog.

Both of these were done in March, and I think I've come a LONG way since then. It's been nice finding out I really DO have an artistic bone in my body, even if it's just for my nails, I'm proud!
