Pink and Black Tape Mani

Hiya Dolls!

 

I get to go to a PINK concert tomorrow night!  Eeeeeeeee, I am so excited I can't stand it!  Of course I had to do a fun mani for the occasion.  I started with Clinique Pinkini as my base (how perfect hey?) then I taped off a deep chevron and did a coat of China Glaze Haunting.  I think the look is pretty perfect for a Pink rock concert!

 

 

 



Tape Mani

Hey Dolls!

 

Hope everyone had a great weekend!  I'm always a bit sad on Sunday night to see the weekend go, but I do love a fresh start on Mondays.  Is that crazy?  Anyhoo, here is my latest mani.  I can't seem to get enough of tape mani's lately! 

 

 

The colors I used here are Essie Rock The Boat which is a beautiful shimmery blue.  Sinful Colors Skylark which is the pretty pastel peach.  Chanel Kaleidoscope on my ring finger, and Shimmer Carmen on my pinky.



OPI My Private Jet Tape Mani

Hey Dolls!

 

 

I have been so inspired by tape mani's lately.  I follow @lafemmelulu on instagram (go check her out!) and she is the tape mani queen!  So much inspiration in her account.

 

I had been wearing OPI My Private Jet for a couple days and wanted to spice it up a bit.  I taped off a deep chevron on my pointer and ring fingers and filled it in with Sinful Colors Snow Me White.  I added a silver stud to my pinky finger.

 

 



Twinsie Tuesday Chevrons

Hey Dolls

 

It's Chevron week for the Twinsie's.  I love the look of chevrons, I just wish they weren't so hard to do!  I did a 'deep chevron' using tape for my mani this week.  It was also my BIRTHDAY mani and I loved it soooo much.

 

 

The polishes I used are China Glaze For Audrey, Jessica Summer Lovin, Joe Fresh Starry and L'oreal Greycian Goddess.  I used washi tape for my lines.  I love using washi tape because it gives crisp lines without too much 'stickiness' to ruin your polish underneath.

 

Check out the other Twinsie's to see their Chevron's:

Twinsie Tuesday, Marching Orders

This week for Twinsie Tuesday, we were given a challenge from another Twinsie member.  My challenge comes from Rachel of Top Coat It  She suggested that I challenge myself and try something that is out of my comfort zone.  So for me that would be nail art (which is funny because Rachel is always rocking some amazing nail art!)

 

I've wanted to try a chevron look for a long time, so this was my opportunity to be forced to give it a go! 

 

I used China Glaze Surreal Appeal for my base coat.  I love this pinky-coral cream.  And I used a gold nail art polish given to me by the lovely Amanda from Amandalandish  I cute some washi tape using some small chevron patterned scissors and taped off the area I wanted to be gold.  Really wishing that I had made the gold area bigger now, but oh well, there is always next time ;)
