Purple With Stripes

 Hello everybody! Long-time no speak and I am so so sorry about that. I have been back at school for 2 weeks and I am just crazily busy! I will try and make more time for posting but what with my broken nail and being so busy, I haven’t really been in the mood. However, my nail is starting to return to a more normal length and to be honest, I have really missed blogging.

Today I am going to show you some nails that I did after seeing this by the amazingly talented Raquel from 9ml Universe. I was going to my friend’s house for her birthday on Sunday and I wore them for that. They received very positive feedback which I was pleased about! Anyway, on to the pictures.

 

 

 

 

I used a random purple Accessorize polish for the base (awful, it peeled :( )and Orly Oui for the stripes. Upon reflection I wish I had used a lighter base colour in order to show the purple of the Orly better as all you can really see is the gold shimmer. Nether the less I love it! 

 

 

 

 

It was done with striping tape basically the same way as in this manicure. It did take a while but after a couple of nails I got the hang of it and was able to do it faster. 

 

 

 

 

I hope you enjoyed this post and I will try to do at least another post this week. Thank you for bearing with me and, of course, for reading!
