My first laser manicure!

I saw some awesome pictures over the past few months of ladies who tried their hand at a laser manicure. Now the time had come for me to try it! I thought I'd give it my own twist and I made a multicolored pattern underneath. The left hand had big spots, the right hand had little ones.

I have no striping tape. I've never even seen it in stores. I had to use scotch tape that I cut with scissors. I'm also a little bit stubborn and I like to do things my own way. I have had bad experiences with tape manicures, so I tried sponging the top layer. And it worked great! It just gives a sort of texture but that's easily cured by a top coat.

Then I added a top coat and took some more pictures!

And see? The top coat smoothed the texture out. It looked great and kinda retro and I kept it on all week (i.e. 4 more days until I had to take it off because of the weekend with my boyfriend).
