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?

 



Pink Galaxy Nails, Breast Cancer Awareness

Hiya Dolls

 

Day 6 of Pink Week for Breast Cancer Awareness.

 

I gave galaxy nails another go (see my first galaxy nails here).  I started with a base coat of OPI My Very First Knockwurst.  Then I sponged on Zoya Dita, Essie Jamaica Me Crazy, Clinique Pinkini and some plain white.  I added a few white dots and a coat of China Glaze Fairy Dust and there you have it, Pink Galaxy Nails!

 



 

Fact 6 about breast cancer:

 

 

Twinsie Tuesday, Ruffian Mani

I was so looking forward to this weeks challenge, until I actually sat down to do it.  This Ruffian Mani is hard!  This was my second try, and I decided to only do it as an accent nail!

 

 

I just could not get that line smooth.  Regardless of that I love the colors together!  My Very First Knockwurst by OPI is the dusty nude and the ruffian burgundy is Anti-Bleak OPI from the Mariah Carey collection.  Anti-Bleak is less burgundy and more purple in real life.

 

Hoping the other Twinsie's had more luck than me this week!
