Thin gold band

I wanted a gold line round the waterline, I had bought 3mm gold strip but it was defective and not very gold looking. I forgot I had ordered gold nail art line from ebay, it's only 1mm wide and I didn't hold out much hope for it being any good for the job. I was very surprised when I started to use it, the tape is plastic with a silver foil backing and designed not to stretch when applied and is opaque. It went on really easy and can be coated with enamel lacquer. The best bit is you get 15 meters of the stuff for about £1.99, I am well pleased.

I think it looks perfect against the white and green and the gold catches the light beautifully.

The stripping tape worked a treat
