This is a little older mani, it was my first experiment with striping tape as part of the mani and not just as a tool for a tape mani.
I liked it alright, but I need to figure out a way to keep that tape DOWN. Even after having done it a few times, I cannot keep that tape from peeling up.
I ripped those suckers off almost as soon as the camera was put down!
Zoya Veruschka, Pink Striping Tape and CND Raspberry Sparkle Effects.
This is gonna be a long week - we have kiddos this weekend and my "boss" is out of town which means I'm essentially taking her place and working more than double what I normally would. So needless to say, it's going to be much more difficult to do my nails this next week.
So anyway - here we have Zoya Veruschka with Essie Shine of the Times on top - followed by Hard Candy Matte Top Coat.
I'm going to be bringing you a few green mani's over the coming weekend in honor of my Irish roots!
Let's start off with our base - Zoya Veruschka. Such a stunning matte green with tons of shimmer. So much awesome shimmer doesn't get done justice matte, even though it's equally gorgeous - with shine it's just a color to leave you speechless!
