Anyway, the choices for day 25 were Youtube Tutorial or Tape. I said a few posts ago I might do a flame manicure using the needle drag technique, which I'd seen in a Youtube video a little while ago. However, I had this idea for a subtle tape manicure that I wanted to try out, so the flame manicure will have to remain on my to do list!
I used Barry M Gold Foil on my index and middle fingers, then taped off the criss cross pattern with some striping tape, and used Sally Hansen Green Tea on top. I used two coats of this on my other three nails, but I managed to get away with just one coat for these nails! Then I applied a couple of studs just to finish the look off.
Here's a little glimpse of my right hand, because the taping turned out better here rather strangely. Please ignore the mess of nail polish though, my left hand is not very gifted lol.
Love the color combo! I need to get myself some striping tape haha :P
ReplyDeleteTake a look on ebay - I got mine a while ago, but from what I remember it's really cheap.
DeleteThis mani is lovely :)
ReplyDeleteThis is beautiful! I love the blue and gold combo! I will likely pull a copy cat mani of this one of these days!!!
ReplyDeleteAw thank you Karen :) I'd love to see your version if you do.
DeleteThis is amazing! Great colour pairing and love the tape detail and studs :)
ReplyDeleteThanks :) I find tape far too fiddly to do a full manicure, but I like it for accent nails.
