Not quite an outright fail so much as a partial success.....

 

Not so good

• The tape-strips weren't of equal width because I was too lazy to be particular with the cutting thereof. What else is new?
• The silver crackle didn't crackle properly on 2 of the nails. Maybe I didn't apply enough?

Acceptable aspects

• Kinda messy and decaying vibe to it which fits with the Toxic Nature theme
• Not so bad IRL
• Can make the nails look more slender if you have pudgy paws as I do
• Oh, dead easy to do
• The BB Couture Top Rock topcoat is very shiny

How often do you use tape to mask off areas of the nail and do a bit of "art"?

1. Too fiddly
2. Don't like the effect
3. I've done this a lot and it works really well for me
4. It's just one of a huge range of techniques I use
