For Audrey Chevron

One of the first polishes I ever remember purchasing is China Glaze For Audrey. I remember looking up swatches and knowing instantly that I had to have it.  For Audrey was my very first polish purchase as a polishaholic that I remember. It was my gateway polish! lol

For Audrey is such a fantastic color, and is a staple in my collection.  No matter how many polishes I have that are a similar color, For Audrey is still the one that comes to mind.

Today's nail art is very simple using striping tape over For Audrey to create a chevron design on the accent nail.  I used Wet N Wild Black Creme as the black polish in the design.

Every time I wear For Audrey I get compliments! This is a classic design for a classic color. I love it!

BFF: Striping Tape Challenge

For todays BFF Challenge, Pram chose Striping Tape!

These didn't turn out exactly how I wanted, but I am not disappointed with them.  I used Sinful Colors Snow me White as the base, and then I used striping tape to tape off the chevrons.  I then used China Glaze Manhunt to create the blue chevrons.   I was originally going to do these in black, but I had all of my blues sitting in front of me, so I decided why not do blue instead. :)

This one turned out ok, but  I feel it could have been better.

Striping Tape over Acid Wash Nails

For this mani, I used the previous mani (seen here) and used striping tape and Wet N Wild Black Creme to create the design. I really love using striping tape, you can create so many cool designs.  :)

The colors used in the base are: Illamasqua Poke, Zoya Bevin, and Color Club Sweet Pea

Stripes Revisited

Before I took off the previous striped mani, I wanted to see what else i could do with it, so I went back to the striping tape.  This is what came from it, and I kind of like it even better than the original.

The under polishes are stated in this post, and I just took more striping tape and went the opposite direction and painted with Wet N Wild Black Creme over it.

What do you think?

Fun with Striping Tape

For today's nails, I have some diagonal stripes. I don't know where this idea came from, but I had striping tape in front of me, I pulled out my swatch sticks to find a color, and this is what came out.  I am totally loving this mani. 

I had a problem on my middle finger with topcoat that kind of smeared the polish toward the tip, but other than that, i would call this a success.

I used Wet N Wild Black creme as the base of this mani, then I taped it off and painted the stripes with China Glaze Traffic Jam, Color Club Almost Famous, and the blue Love&Beauty polish from Forever21.

Nautical Nail Art!

Today I have for you some Nautical Nail Art! Who doesn't love stripes?

For this design I used Sinful Colors Snow Me White as the base, some red metallic striping tape I got from Ebay, and China Glaze First Mate for the anchor using my dotting tool. 

I think this came out pretty well. :)

Day 9: Creative Lacquer Challenge: 3D

Today's post is 3D nail art.  I used Striping tape for this mani.  I used the Silver holographic striping tape that i bought off of ebay in a lot of 10 for around $1.50.

For the mani color I used 2 coats of Revlon Royal, 1 coat of Milani Totally Cool, and the striping tape to do the design.

I was thinking about adding rhinestones to the design, but I didn't want it to be too much.
