Polished to the Nines: Cuticula Scented Nail Tape - Strawberry Lemonade November 2017 Polish Pickup

Hi everyone! Today I have something really special and exciting to share with you! I have Cuticula Scented Nail Tape's contribution to the November 2017 Polish Pickup. The theme for the month is Fandoms, and Amanda, the maker of Cuticula chose "Fluttershy" from "My Little Pony" as her inspiration.

First let me tell you a little about Fluttershy. Fluttershy is a female Pegasus pony, and one of the main characters of My Little Pony Friendship is Magic. She lives in a small cottage near the Everfree Forest and takes care of animals. She represents the element of kindness.

Now, you may be wondering, "what's Polish Pickup?"

Polish Pickup is a group on Facebook that is a fun, interactive experience that allows you to submit theme ideas and then vote for your favorite theme! Then, different nail polish brands will create polishes based off these themes that they will have available on the Polish Pickup website for the first Friday through Monday of each month where you can selectively purchase your favorite polishes. The process then repeats for the following month.

This month is Cuticula Scented Nail Tape's first month being a part of Polish Pickup and she created Strawberry Lemonade Scented Nail Tape.

Nail Tape is used primarily in creating nail art. You apply it around your cuticles like I have shown above prior to doing any art, or even just to aid in clean up when applying your nail polish. Once it dries, it acts as a barrier between your skin and whatever nail art you are doing. Once you remove it, the skin underneath is clean from all the nail polish, which saves your skin from constantly being abused by acetone, which can be extremely drying.

Cuticula's Nail Tape varies in color and scent. The scent above is Strawberry Lemonade and it smells just like it sounds! The official description is a refreshing blend of sweet fresh strawberries and lemon slices.

Lemon is the scent that is most prominent to my nose, but it's a sweet kind of lemon scent because it has hints of those strawberries surrounding it.

Here is what it looks like after I have done some stamping.

Once you peel it off, all you have to do is touch up some spots you may have missed, and apply your top coat and you're done!

One of my favorite things about Cuticula over other liquid latex is its peel. When you're finished with your art, and you go to remove the Nail Tape, it peels so cleanly! I've used other brands that peel off in chunks, and can get into your mani, ruining it, but not Cuticula!

Keep an eye out soon on my Instagram for a demo video using Strawberry Lemonade, and the nail art mani I have shown above!
