Purple Stripes

 Hey Dolls!

 

This stripey mani is what I wore on our Thanksgiving weekend.  I got my inspiration from @cassondrafaye and @lafemmelulu on Instagram for this mani.  There are so many talented nail artists on Instagram.

 

 

My base coat is OPI My Very First Knockwurst.  I taped off 1/3 of each nail and did a coat of Zoya Aurora and (I'm not totally positive about this since it was so long ago now, but I'm pretty sure it's) Barry M Prickly Pear.

 

 

What do you all think of tape mani's?  Do you love them as much as I do?

 



Twinsie Tuesday Something New

Hey Dolls

 

For Twinsie Tuesday this week the theme is 'Something New'.  I knew right away that I wanted to try the Water Fall Nail Art from The Nailasaurus.  It's new and fresh and I loooove the design.

 

This was my first try and I did it on my 7 day old mani.  Yes you read that right!  This is the longest I've ever worn a polish for and I only had a bit of tip wear and growth, not even one chip!  I liked the first try so much I decided to just use this for my mani this week.  I will for sure be doing more of these!

 

My base is Barry M Gelly Hi-Shine in Prickly Pear.  For my stripes I used China Glaze For Audrey and Peachy Keen, and Clinique Strappy Sandals.  I used a thin brush for the stripes, next time I will do them thinner so I can add more lines.
