Mani, Pedi.... PAPER?

Okay I've been sitting on this little tidbit for MONTHS like a broody hen!!

Bock, bock!!

In the spring, I had an idea. It was part of a totally SQUIRREL chain of events that went like this:

• I ordered the Deborah Lipmann nail polish I used on my nails during my convention presentation. It's called "Just Dance" and it. is. awesome.

•  On Amazon, it showed me "people who bought this also bought" thumbnails.

• One of those thumbnails was THIS awesome manicure tape.

I thought - wait a minute - look at those fine little tapes - SURELY I can use those on a card! The lines were so teeny and delicate, I KNEW they would make a fabby mask, and since the adhesive had to be light enough to come off your nail after painting, I thought it wouldn't damage my cardstock.

SQUIRREL! PLUS, they were only $1.54 for TEN ROLLS!

So I ordered this set of tapes, and then they sat on my desk until this week when I was prepping for Dare To Get Dirty, which started today.

Cassie Trask hosted one of the challenges today - now, the challenges are for Fan Club Members only so I can't tell you what it is - and her challenge was PERFECT for my tapes!

So I busted out my Brusho powdered watercolor, my manicure tapes and I went to town! It worked PERFECTLY as a mask with no bleeding the very first time. I'm in love!!

SQUEE!! Look how crisp they are!!

I  can tell this is something I'm going to be using a lot!

The stamp is from the For All Things set from the upcoming Holiday Mini Catalog - let me know if you need one!

You just never know when buying nail polish is going to spark an art storm - so by all means - paint your nails!!

Loveyameanitbye.
