31 Day Challenge, day 4: Green
Hi guys, time for some green nails! :-) This week I had a party for which I did simple, stunning, silver glitter nails to match my red dress. I used China Glaze Millenium and a coat of Silver Lining on top, also from China Glaze. I didn't have an idea for my forth challenge yet at the time, but when I saw the dense silver glitter sparkle on my fingertips I just couldn't wait to combine it with a bright green. So the next day I made these V-gaps with Barry M's Spring Green. I love, love, love the color. It's so vibrant! Almost like a neon. I didn't manage to capture its true color in the pictures though, where it looks a bit turquoise. In real life it's more like a Hulk-green, wild and strong. ^^ What do you think of today's green nails?

I love these colors together! That green is wicked.
ReplyDeletei love this!!
ReplyDeleteAgh! I love! I've been trying to figure out how to get this tape mani to work for me. I did one where The main color went on first and then used 2 pieces of tape to create the triangle with the second color. I see you did the opposite of that. Seems to me like that would be easier. My triangles don't come out even. :)
ReplyDeleteActually I do it both ways, but I prefer the way you do it. It just depends on which color I'm wearing as my basecolor. In this case I happened to be wearing the silver glitter that I wanted to be the V-gaps, but otherwise I would've done it with two seperate pieces tape because it's easier that way. ^^ The tape attaches better to the round shape of my nails and also the layering polish won't seep under the tape so easily that way.
DeleteI admit it can be hard to determine where the strips should go for an even triangle. Perhaps you could make a tiny dot on the basecolor with a toothpick so you'll know where the point of the V comes. I just came up with it now, but I should try that muself too, haha. Good luck!
I love greens like this! And I just love silver glitter with neon in general.
ReplyDeleteLovely nail-art. Love the color of Barry M!

Some months ago, I participated of a challenge of this. Really fun, you know, but 31 manicures... it took a loooong time to me to accomplish it. This green polish is elegant and daring, I have something similar.
