Striped Mani

Morning!!! As this gets posted, my butt is on it's way to a breakfast smorgasborg restaurant, Shady Maple, with my husband, his parents and sister, and some of our neighbors, and OMG, I cannot wait! Their food is so amazing, they have such a great shop under the place, and I get  to stuff my face for 1 low price! Nope, nothing beats that! After breakfy, we are all heading to this LARGE outdoor flea market! It's like my dream day, lol. Okay, now onto my mani.... I decided to whip out my tape, and have some fun, since my outfit for the day was kind of blah, and thought a fun mani would spruce it up.
I started with Wet n' Wild Black

Then taped off my nails like this, one at a time

I then applied China Glaze Recycle, only doing one nail at a time


Again, when I finished them all, and added a coat of SV, I taped them off  2nd time

and used China Glaze DV8 for the tips :)

    I LOVE Shady Maple! I used to live in Pottstown, PA and we'd go to Shady Maple once a month. I couldn't wait! The shop is so much fun too! I'm jealous!

    Great mani too, by the way :)

    Oh thanks Erika not only am I jealous over the fantastic manicure you throw out there the fabulous breakfast buffet--it's just not fair! I am trying scotch tape mani for the first time next week after I take my Easter water marble off. I hope it doesn't scar me for life the way the water marble did! Happy Easter!

    My favorite part of this post may be that you were reading Hyperbole and a Half while doing your nails.
