Now that spring is slowly starting to appear, I've noticed I like to wear pastels more often now. This week I'd been wearing China Glaze Lemon Fizz for a few days and when I got tired of it I spiced it up with a colorful tape mani. It wasn't my intention to make stripes though, after I did blue tips with China Glaze For Audrey I wanted to add geometric patterns in coral with Essence Think Pink. However, Think Pink was a lot sheerer than I thought, creating different tones of coral with the polish underneath. (The middle two colors are For Audrey and Lemon Fizz underneath Think Pink.) I was so pleasently surprised by this that I continued playing with this layering effect and ended up with these cheerful stripes. :-) Thanks for reading!

ReplyDeleteVery pretty! I like Lemon Fizz also, but from the day I bought it (and no matter how many times I try to thin it) it's a very thick and stringy polish :(

ReplyDeleteAwesome! I like the layering :D
ReplyDeleteHow are you so good at striping! Whenever I try striping, the tape leaves a mark on my nail! Unless i'm too impatient! or when I paint the colour and pull the tape off, it isn't a smooth line like yours!
ReplyDeleteAre you sure the polish underneath was dry enough? Try taping on your mani from a day before, see if it still leaves marks then. Otherwise you could try different tape. I like to use plain, clear stationery tape, but others prefer painters tape. So just experiment with different kinds till you find the one that's good for you.
DeleteSo gorgeous! I love the color shift that happened as you layered them. This came out so lovely. :)
ReplyDeleteThis is gorgeous!!
ReplyDeleteLooks very nice!

ReplyDeletehey this is awesome.. but i don't quite understand how u do the middle 2 colours.. how do u create the tones with colours underneath?
ReplyDeletecan u do a tutorial for this?
Hi! And thank you ^^. I started with the yellow, then I placed a tape stip horizontally on my nails to cover up the upper half (at the cuticles) and painted to other half (on my tips) blue. When that had dried I painted the middle section with the pink (also using tape), overlapping a part of both the yellow and blue. The pink is sheer so you can still see the colors underneath.
DeleteI might do a tutorial in the future, however there are many other designs I want to make a tutorial for first! :-)
hey alright! thanks i will try.. haha, just starting out, and the way you do the colour combinations for most of your designs are great.. will check out your update more often! great things
