Pink and Teal Geometric Striping Tape Design


This manicure inflated my ego to about ten times its normal size. It may not be the greatest or most inspired nail art ever, but I've received more compliments on this design than on all of my other nail art put together — maybe that's a sign of improvement? 

I really fell in love with the color combination here and how fun and funky the design looks on my nails. I've had these on for nearly a week, which is practically a lifetime. I used a mish-mash of polishes and brands here: I started with two coats of OPI My Vampire is Buff for the base, which I actually like a lot better this time around. I topped it with a layer of Seche Vite, and once it was dry I used my striping tape to create the design. The black portion is Sinful Colors Black on Black; next was China Glaze For Audrey and Sally Hansen Rosy Outlook.

Take a look and let me know what you think!

  3. Manicure and pedicure are an essential part of nail grooming. Your hands and feet never take a day off so it’s important to take care of them manicure and pedicure, especially in cold and harsh winters. Regular manicures and pedicures can actually provide great benefits for your overall health and well being.
