I started with 3 coats of Gargantuan Green Grape, 3, yep you heard right 3 freaking coats, man I forgot how much of a PITA this was. Oh well.
Then I taped them off, and added the Funky Fingers Erin. Such a pretty sparkly green, which I can say, I don't own anything like it. I then added a coat of SV.
For my final color, I added my fave go to black from Sinful. and another coat of SV
I am loving this soooo much!!!! If you are looking for a How-To on this, I have one posted up above in my 'Tutorials' tab.
This is so good, such a simple idea yet looks amazing!! :)

LaSimoi, thank you!! I really hope you're enjoying it.
Lexi, yes I am, I actually am working on it tonight, so it might be a few days before it gets posted, but it is def coming :)
Polish Lava, the only place I think you can buy Funky Fingers is at Five Below stores :(
Josie, oh good luck, I hope you find tons!!
Nailitoshy, YAY, i'm so glad it's working for you!!
Pretty sparkly green! Wonderful blog,Chloe. Perfect manikure again!
ReplyDeleteWhen I tried to use the tape, it lifted my base coat. I THOUGHT I let it dry completely.. about 5 minutes or so before I tried to tape it off (and yes I dabbed it on my palm a few times to get the stickiness off)... How long do you normally suggest to wait before taping off the nail? OH, and how do you do such a perfect cleanup job around your cuticles?
ReplyDeleteBeautiful manicure. I have a similar colour on. May I try out your mani on my nails?
ReplyDeleteThanks girls!!!
ReplyDeleteKellie, did you use a quick dry top coat after your base polish? That helps me tons. I use SV, and wait anywhere from 5-8 minutes. As for clean up, I actaully don't do any :) That is actually just how I polish.
pkbmum, omg, of course you can try this out. This is teh main reason I do my blog, to hopefully inspire some and give out my ideas.
Cute! How do you get the lines SO perfectly straight? Whenever I try to do this the polish bleeds under the tape :P
ReplyDeleteyour fimo clay demo and this mani inspired me (you have a way of doing that lol!) I'm still quite new at this, but I thought i'd share :)
ReplyDeletehttp://apolishedlife.blogspot.com/2011/02/finding-fimo.html
I like it with just the greens best, but either way, this is awesome!
ReplyDeleteAnon, It's all about making sure your ends of the tape are 100% down. In my 'Tutorials' tab up above, I show you exactly what I mean :)
ReplyDeleteJulie, Oh yay, I can't wait to check it out!
ABOP, yeah me too, kind of, but for some reason I can't seam to leave my black out of most my manis, lol.
Oh, this is so pretty <3
ReplyDeleteThank you :P
