What's this? A nail design with no stamping??
That's right, my first nail design without it since the 30th of September...oh dear god. Also, this is my second look without stamping...I think I have an obsession with stamping. It's just so much fun but clearly I need to put the stamper down.
I actually used some striping tape *le gasp* to create this look. It's the second time I've used tape, the first you can barely see the results back in my Avon Cosmic Lights Collection post. I've strategically taken photos at an angle so you don't see how spectacularly I messed up when placing them. The middle finger is completely off centre and the ring finger is wonky. I tried though.
I knew from the moment I opened this months Mani & Lola box though that these two shades belonged together, and boy do they make a great couple. This might even end up as my New Year's eve mani as my dress is navy and my bag and shoes are gold. I love how understated the look is but thanks to the glitter it has a real elegant feel to it.
How To:-
For this look I used one coat of Bohemian Rhapsody and two coats of Merry Whatever. After using a quick dry top coat I applied the striping tape across the nail and then painted on some more of Merry Whatever. You really have to make sure the bottom coat is dry before you apply the tape or it will smudge or lift off (there's a reason you can't see my thumb properly...). Then apply another layer of top coat and bam; ready.
