I'm really happy with how this manicure came out!! Tape manicures are such an easy way to jazz up a plain color. I'm usually content with simple looks but lately I've wanted to try different things, and I hope to keep that up!
I have a fun idea in mind for my next mani.. stay tuned for that! :)
very pretty!
ReplyDeleteI love, love CND effects. I think this is the year of over-lay which is what CND effects are. I have an Emerald effect - have to look if it's a pearl or a sparkle. It looks great over a dark shade here - admit I never though to do a tape mani with my CND effects. I tend to use them on tips or a full cover over another shade.
ReplyDeletejust looked again at your comments - you used that very precious Jade sparkle CND effects! That's a super hard one to find and much coveted. It only was out for a short time in a duo with a dark teal cream and cannot be purchased any longer. You are lucky to have that one in your stash. Covet it which I am sure you know to do.
ReplyDeleteLove it! Tape manis look so impressive for the small amount of work they take.
ReplyDeleteOMG! EM this is freakin awesome!!!!! I am so loving this!
ReplyDeleteLove the stripes! I'm on the fence about the ChG--might have to see it in person before I decide.
ReplyDeleteOh this is gorgeous. I love the look of it. :-D
ReplyDeleteSO it is teal! awesome combo!
