I started with a base of OPI Stranger Tides. I love all of these Pirates of the Caribbean collection colors. I put some Seche Vite over it and let it dry.
Then I added two strips of tape to my nails and painted China Glaze Westside Warrior over it. It's an olive green from the Metro collection from this fall. I peeled off the tape strips slowly and carefully, and, VOILA!
I let the stripes dry a bit, did my cleanup, and then I added another coat of Seche Vite.

Not exact, but close enough, haha!
I really do like this mani a lot though. It is really bold and looks great, especially from far away.
Lovely! Wish I could do them as neat!
ReplyDeletethis is gorgeous!! you did them perfectly!!!
ReplyDeleteThank you both! I think I'm starting to get a good grasp on the tape technique, now.

Looks like Brobee from Yo Gabba Gabba, except you need 3 red spikes. Very cool!
ReplyDeletehow did you create such straight stripes???
ReplyDeleteI used a tape manicure technique for this look -- check out nailside.blogspot.com for tape manicure resources!
DeleteI really like the color combination, I don't think I would've come up with it. I have an olive green I got specifically for 1 look, now I have a 2nd look I can aim for! Your stripes look very neat, great job!
ReplyDeleteI love Steve! These are cute.
