Taped - My first taped mani! Zig Zags

Thanks to the lovely Chloe's Nails, Ive had this idea waiting for a while. 

Ive been reluctant to try tape but got ballzy the other night.

Turned out totally awesome! I love the colors I chose.

But after close inspection, I realized that I messed the zags up!

I followed her tutorial but apparently I got way ahead of myself, thinking, "Oh easy! I got this!"

Yea well, needless to say, I ended up with the shimmer color all in the middle sections with the purple and black alternating the tips and beds. But ya know what, I bet you wouldnt have noticed if I hadnt pointed it out, right?

Im always my own worst critic!

But I did say I still loved how it turned out so Im not totally bad :-p

My base purple is ORLY Purple Velvet, shimmer is Borghese Stellar Notte (thanks Jess for the heads up to try it again!) and black is my favorite Wet N Wild Black (such thick coverage for only $.99, can't beat that!)

I'm Cracking Up Here!

Well the Gussied Up Green didnt last at all. It chipped the next day :-(

So, after horrible chipped nails at my Scentsy events, Im home now with fresh nails.

Tonight I felt like a crackle. So I thought I picked black crackle but after pics, I see I picked blue!

My bipolar nails! I of course, had to try my holo top coat :-p

These nails are 2x coats of Borghese Raspberry Sorbetto. 1 thin coat of BK (I think thats the name of these?) blue (meant to choose black) cracking polish, 1 coat China Glaze Wireless Holographic Top coat and regular fast dry tc.

I still find the crackles to be a pain. I took the pictures before I cleaned up my lines as well. I'm ready to try and orange base and the black crackle. It will go perfect for Halloween!
