Playing with Striping Tape!

Good morning guys! Well, I guess it's still night since it's only 2 am, but I wanted to post this before I go to bed since I'll be very busy tomorrow.

Over top of I Vant To Be A-Lone Star from yesterday's post, I decided to try out the striping tape I recently got! Not to shabby for my first try! I definitely need to make sure the tape is down all the way though, there's some spots where it started to come back up and I didn't push it back down before painting. Oops!

I used 2 coats of OPI How You Blue-In'? over top of OPI I Vant To Be A-Lone Star.

And, because I thought it was weird looking, what my nail looked like with the striping tape on and after painting How You Blue-In'? over it. It reminds me of a spider. A weird, oddly shaped, possibly dead, spider haha

What do you guys think? Are you a fan of using striping tape in this way, or do you prefer to just cut the tape to the length of your nail and leave it on to create stripes?

Personally, I prefer using it as a guide to do stripes, I can only imagine that after a little while of wear the tape would just peel up and drive me insane!

Swatch & Review- Zoya Zuza

Outside, full sun

Indoors, indirect sunlight from window 

I'm wearing two coats of Zoya Zuza and one coat of Seche Vite in these pictures. The formula on this was fantastic, as with almost all the other Zoya's I have. No complaints on the formula at all. I need to figure out how to properly photograph this color, the indoor color does it more justice than the outdoor one does. It's a blueish teal with a metallic looking shimmer. I posted on my Instagram earlier that Zuza just became my favorite Zoya polish, it had been Zoya Kissy, but this just blows that one away. I highly suggest this color, especially if you like teal, blue, or green polishes. 

I also want to note that this polish seemed to dry pretty quickly compared to other polishes I own, while I didn't wait for the second coat to dry before putting Seche Vite over it, the first coat was completely dry by the time I put the second coat on, which usually doesn't happen.
