I started with the 415, than taped off my nail doing one side of the tip. After that dried, I did the other.
When it came time to do the OPI on my tips, I got kind of lazy and just cut the zig zag end of the tape off, and turned it, so the sides lined up with the Nocturnal tips.
I actually quite like it! I don't think it makes your nail look nubby at all! You are so good at all these taped-off type of manis =]
ReplyDeleteI can see your point; I see the pink base section and think "nail" and my brain doesn't connect the nails to the tips becuase they're so different in color/value. Neatly done, as always.
ReplyDeleteThanks you guys, yeah this is def one mani, you prob won't see again, unless I use different/lighter colors, haha.
ReplyDeleteI like it. Thanks for posting even though you don't like it that much - this way we still get the great eye candy :)
ReplyDeleteWell thanks ABOP! I'm glad you like it!!
ReplyDeleteLOVE THIS!! whats the base color you used and what did you use to make it so shiny??!!
ReplyDeleteThanks! the base is a brand called Professional 10, and the color is called Pinky Promise, #415
ReplyDeleteoh and forgot to add, that the shine is from Seche Vite, my top coat
ReplyDeleteI tried this same type of thin today, and on me it kinda looked like ugly acrylics ha ha. Maybe I'll try it again when my nails are shorter :)
ReplyDeleteAll of that aside though, I really like the look of this on you, it just didn't work for me. Keep at it! I love your blog!
DeleteIn a sea of 300+ pins on a stranger's "Pinspire" account, a photo of these nails caught my eyes immediately! I have been searching for the original post (yours, of course) for a couple hours now and am SO GLAD I found it. (It wasn't easy!)
ReplyDeleteSo, 1. I really love your nails--your natural nails to be exact. The shape of it makes all the difference and you're awesome at painting your nails perfectly! That's how I knew these nails had to be YOUR nails!
And 2. I hope people on Pinspire (not Pinterest) know better to link the image directly to the original post. And I'm glad you've got your website posted on your photos now!
This is my first time on your blog and I can't wait to explore more!!!
Nubby?? Are you kidding me? They are stunning and one of my faves!
