Hi dear reader!
How was the start of your weekend? Mine started with a nail polish hunt in Germany, Oberhausen to be exact. I've spent my day in CentrO with Michèle and Daph and scored some nice goodies!
I've also tried something else with the striping tape. I've got a few tips and after spending a little time with it, this is the result:
The base colour is OPI's Ogre-the-Top-Blue and the striping tape is from Dollar Nail Art. I've also placed one baby pearl in the centre of each nail because I like baby pearls haha. My second try worked out a lot better but it's still not perfect. I'm a terrible picky person and I'd hate it when the striping tape is cut off too short, so now it's a little too long for my nails. I'm still trying to succeed having the perfect length of tape on my nails!
About Ogre-the-Top-Blue: perfect bright medium blue. Application was fine - at least better than Shrek and Fiona! Those were very streaky and I needed four (!) coats to even it all out. I'm wearing three coats in the picture. I'm also having a top coat issue, my OPI RapiDry gets all bubbly. :(
That's it for today. Have a great weekend!

This is so amazingly beautiful I love it! I need to find some striping tape!
This mani is great!! <3<3<3
Adorable! It makes me think of the seashore. I love the little pearls too!
I've never used striping tape. It looks great on your nails. Could you put a little topcoat on the ends to stiffen them and then use sharp cuticle nippers to trim the excess?
Have you tried adding nail polish thinner to your topcoat? I had to use a good amount, but it stopped the bubbling. :)
Love the baby pearls!
Ge-wel-dig!
Thanks! And the same for you! :)
Thanks! I thought the same haha :D
Thanks Tierney! :)
Thanks! You can buy some at Dollar Nail Art, I've had some good experiences with them.
Thank you :)
Thanks Diana! I'm so in love with the baby pearls, they're adorable! You should definitly try the tape, I love the things you can do with it - except the sticking to the nails part. Tried various top coats but the ends seem to crawl up no matter how I cut them off so I need to figure that out haha.
I'll try the thinner tip, thanks!
Dankje!
Very pretty! I've never used striping tape... I'm afraid it would peel up! Love the little pearls. I need to get me some of those :)
It isn't expensive so if you'd like to try that I'd definitly do! Thanks :)
