Tri-color Tribal Nails

Good morning! So, one of my favorite nail art methods is using tape. Sure you have to wait for each layer to dry, but it is pretty much fool proof. 

For this nail look I was channeling a tribal inspiration. Though half way through the week wearing this I realized how much the design resembles the Wonder Woman symbol. Maybe subconsciously I was thinking about that. 

To create this design I applied Revlon Red Hot Tamale and waited for it to dry. The Revlon polish is one of my favorite reds. It's very bright.  I then exposed a triangle part of my upper nail and painted on China Glaze Happy Go Lucky. It's my only medium yellow and I feel like it applies fine despite yellow's usually having unpredictable formulas. After the yellow dried I taped off my nail to expose a smaller triangle section. In this section, I used China Glaze Bermuda Breakaway. Yeah, I know it looks black. It looked nearly black in real life this time but usually it appears to be navy.In some sections I was a little careless and didn't pay attention to making sure my tape was completely flat. Though I'm still happy with the look.
