Chartreuse Tantalizes


This is 3 coats of Revelon Tantalize look at is so so pretty and sparkly



I thought this would look fantastic as a art deco style striping manicure and I like green and purple together so I put on tape and added 1 thick coat Barry M Bright Purple.






















Yes too many Pics I know but I do really love how it turned out. I know all my striping tape manicures look similar but that is only because I am not a creative person :). I am working on it

So Close but Wrong Base

I had to try this again this time the stones matched but, I wish I had chosen a different base for this I think these 2 colors do not compliment as much as I had hoped.
This is 3 coats of Orly Shine. I then taped off sections of my nails with french nail strips and then added Amy's Nail Boutique Trendsetter and topped off with stones from ebay and a coat of Poshe.





















I wish this had turned out a bit better and I will definitely give it another go in the future the stones are almost a perfect match. I also hate that I couldn't pick up the holo effect from trendsetter.  Amy's Nail Boutique makes some beautiful jewel tone holographic polishes they are beautifully packaged, my only complaint would be that they are a bit shear so Ideally you should layer over a similar color or maybe white to get it very opaque.  As usual I bought this polish and I wasn't compensated in any way.

So Shiny

I took this idea from Rainbow Creativity's Post. I loved how it looked.

I used 3 coats of Jade Supernova, added striping tape and 1 coat of Kleancolor metallic Red, pulled off the tape and added some stones from ebay and topped with Poshe. Unfortunately my stones didnt match I should have used metallic pink instead because I don't have stones this deep of a red :'(

Look at this Shinyness Supernova is gorgeous and I don't even like yellow.






















This was so pretty I so wish the stones would have matched. Also Super nova is a bitch to get off your cuticles so try not to get any on your cuticles.

Glow in the Dark - Grids


I do just love how this turned out, even though most of my striping tape manicures seem to look the same.

I started with  2 coats JLB Aruba blue with 2 coats Love and Beauty Aqua layered over it. I used striping tape to make the design and added 1 coat of Seche Nouveau over it and topped with Poshe. Hehe, I know sacrilege



















I mussed it up in places because I couldn't remember the order in which I had put on the tape pieces. Very important to remember that :)  But more important the blue glows in the dark it looked super cool but I am a shoddy photographer and couldn't get a pic.
