I didn't really have a plan for this mani. I went through my collection of polishes trying to find something I hadn't used before for a base colour. I chose OPI- Mod about you- a cool toned pastel pink.
I actually found the formula a bit thick. I used a Revitanail nail strengthener as my base instead of my usual Orly bonder, so they may be why- it was going on very streaky.
Anyway after painting them pink I was a
little lost as to what other polishes would go with the pink. I decided
to play it safe and chose a light turquoise and a coral peach- I find
these 2 colours always look nice together (I used China Glaze For Audrey and
Essie Tart Deco).
I also used some Essie 'good as gold' to add some metallic interest :)
For the stripy design I used randomly spaced striping tape (available on ebay) diagonally across my nails. I then painted small lines (using a small paintbrush) perpendicular to the striping tape in my chosen polishes.
I am not in love with these nails, but still pretty happy with them- what do you think?
Thanks for reading
