Nail art is all the rage these days, but stocking up on the tools necessary to create your favorite looks can be expensive. Along with nail polish, you’ll often need special brushes, gems and adhesives to achieve manicure perfection. Luckily, The Beauty Department has a great idea for making your own nail stickers that look just as cool as the ones you can buy in stores.

All you need is a roll of scotch tape, scissors and your favorite shades of Lippmann Collection – Nail Lacquers. Simply apply the polish directly to the tape, then let it dry. The source recommends waiting 30 minutes to make sure that it’s ready to be handled.

Once the polished tape has dried, use the scissors to cut out designs. You could do simple shapes like squares or triangles or get more creative with your cuts. You might also want to cut out a few straight lines.

Now, apply the pieces of tape to your nails with the sticky side down. It’s best to use a base coat before you do this. Once you have your pattern set, finish it up with Lippmann Collection – Addicted To Speed Ultra Quick-Dry Top Coat. You’ll have a pretty geometric manicure!
