Skittle Stripes

Hello! Just a quick post today because since my nails are so short I haven’t had any inspiration and am struggling to find things to post. As soon as my nails get a bit longer posts should become a bit more regular, please just bear with me! 

 The pictures for this post aren’t very good quality because I took them on my phone to show my boyfriend, never intending to use them for my blog. I didn’t do any clean up so that’s why some nails look a bit scruffy. I think you get the idea though! 

 

 

 

 

I was just playing around with striping tape for the first time and this was the result. It is similar to this manicure that Chalkboard Nails did a while ago. I didn’t copy it on purpose but as I was doing it, I was thinking to myself ‘I’ve seen this before…’ and then I googled and that was where! 

 

 

 

 

 For the base colours I used Barry M – Pure Turquoise, Indigo; China Glaze – Papaya Punch; NYC – Greenwich Village and OPI – Who The Shrek Are You? The black was just a random one from Collection 2000. I really need a new opaque black creme!  Does anyone have any suggestions?

 

 

Thank you for reading!
