My base coats were 1x Stickey, 1x Nail Envy then 1x Nomadic in Nude. I topped off the fingers I was going to stripe with Seche Vite, then got on with dotting the rest. By the time I'd finished dotting I was ready to line up the striping tape and get on with filling in the gaps. The fill in colours were Jade is the New Black, Suzy Says Feng Shui, Blackberry and Pomegranate.
The first couple of photos are the most colour accurate for all the colours apart from the purple Gelly, which seems very black. The rest with flash allow the purple to come out, but slightly wash out the green and teal. There are some slight imperfections on my stripes, however the dots I'm in love with. I think I'm going to recreate this in a couple of weeks when we go away for hubby's birthday :)
I really like this mani and love how well these colours seem to work together. My next plan with the Gellys is to try a watermarble - wish me luck......!
These colours look awesome together, I can't wait to get some Gelly polish too!
ReplyDeleteI love these colours :) the one I thought I would like least is actually my favourite, pomegranate. It pairs with blue, green, black, teal and nudes really well
ReplyDeleteThat's such a cute mani! love it!
ReplyDeleteThis is my most favourite one I've done for ages! I was gutted when the purple stripe on index finger chipped off!
DeleteSo cute i need to try this
ReplyDeleteThanks, it's really easy to do. Lining up the striping tape is the hardest part!
ReplyDeleteThat looks really awesome. I am going to have to try it.
ReplyDeleteThanks Sally,I'll be doing this again on Thursday evening. Just trying to decide what colours to use for it, I may get my rainbow colours out again and use them for thinner stripes.
DeleteThe colors do look great together, and they look sophisticated and smart but playful, too.
ReplyDeleteI recreated this mani using shimmery colours but it wasn't as "fun", I really liked this using cream finishes
