Nail art - mirror or same?

[louisekjh]

This is really bugging me! Lol

Say you do nail art on the left hand with diamantes going to the left side of the nail

When doing the right hand would you mirror this so that the diamantes are on the right? Or keep it the same as the left?

Does that make sense??

I always mirror! I feel like it looks odd and really irritates me [emoji85]

I always mirror I'm a bit OCD like that!! Whilst we're on the subject of Nailart how would you ladies do this? The glitter is so perfect I would say striping tape or a stencil to get it sharp? Any suggestions?

Hi I'm new to this I don't know if you were meant to upload an image or not? As I don't see one [emoji85]

They're Megan McKennas nails with the triangle of glitter at the base.

I've never attempted these but I would say striping tape and apply the glitter mixed with a bit of top coat, take off the tape and cure

I unfortunately am no good at nail art i can apply glitter to the full nail that is all. So if you have any tips with ombré glitter that'd be lovely, it just seems to go all over for me? I love these tho! What your saying seems like a good idea can always practice on yourself until you find a technique that suits you!

Fab!! Do the stencils not peel off any colour? At what stage would you use them?

I alway use a shellac colour cure then apply stencil then rub on powder glitter or pigment remove stencil & top coat, so no seeping gel polish colour & a nice crisp line
