Since Sally Hansen Digital pulled away from the tips of my nails showing the black undercoat I decided to added French black tips to my nails to cover it up. I had really shaky hands so decided to use scotch tape as a guide to paint on the tips. However, the tape I used wasn't that good so the lines aren't that crisp. If my hands weren't that shaky I could probably have gotten a cleaner line free-handing it. I then decided it needed something more so I added Essie Matte About You to the black tips only.
These photos were taken that night in artificial light.

It's not my best work but it was a good solution to the tip debacle since I didn't want to have to take the colour off since I love Digital over black. I think I would've done a better job doing my tips freehand but this was a quick fix situation so I could wear the colour for a few more days. It also meant the the black around the edges of my manicure looked better since it matched my tips!
This looks so cool! I love the idea of matte tips, will have to try that!
