Just like a circus


Hi dear readers! For this post I made another tape mani, surprise! However I keep experimenting in the hope of discovering new designs :)

This tape pattern is made with wide triangles, using five or six a nail, all pointing to the center. This creates something that looks a bit like a circus tent ceiling. I like this look for it's simplicity and graphical element, so pretty sure I'll do this design regularly in the future. And when I do, I'll just call it circus, for the sake of convenience :)

The colors I used weren't exactly planned, I happened to be wearing Strawberry Fields when I came up with this idea and thought 2030 would fit perfect with its gold shimmer, but I think it turned out quite cute!

What are your thoughts? And have an awesome day!

    @Morgan: Thank you! Haha, the Birtney song, I was afraid that might happen :P

    @Breigh: Cutting the triangles wasn't the problem, but man, placing them! If I do this desgin too often, I might have to wear glasses very soon, lol
