Many lessons were learned today:
- Scotch tape can only be separated from partly-dry nail polish with great difficulty
- Masking tape will not stick reliably to partly-dry nail polish
- Waiting 2-3 hours between each coat is both annoying and extremely inconvenient, and also not long enough
- Ballpoint pen ink is very hard to remove from a cuticle while keeping the polish intact
That said, I’m pretty happy with the results even though I don’t think I’d do this regularly :3


The secret that helped me when i was doing nail designs (god i wanna paint my nails) is nail art pens, try em! They dry in like 30 seconds and are very easy to work with ❤️
ooh i didn’t know those were a thing! definitely gonna give those a shot :3
Yeah! Honestly cant believe you had the patience with regular polish, thats actually incredible lol
