Recycle Mani Monday: Chevron Tips

Hey Y'all!

Sorry this post is late!

It's Recycle Mani Monday again!

Today I did some more chevron tips.

Here's How:

Regular tape is gonna be the tool for this one. 

I take the corner of the piece of tape and line it up on my nail with my previous 'v' shape design. 

Make sure to push the tape down so no polish will get under it. 

Then I painted the remainder of my nail with a nude polish. I used Zoya "Charlott." 

Immediately remove the tape before the polish dries. 

Use a small brush with acetone to cleanup any excess polish on your skin.

Finish it off with your favorite top coat. I use Salon Perfect.

And that's it!

Hey Y'all!

It's Recycle Mani Monday! Time to jazz up those weekend mani's!

Here's Mine:

Here's What I Added:

I started with my previous stamp mani.

Then with an unnamed black polish I painted a black stripe at an angle on the tip of the nail. We're goin to create a V shaped french tip. 

Then I repeated that on the other side so the two met at the point creatin the V. And that's it! Super Simple!

Use Your favorite top coat to seal it all in. I use Salon Perfect. 

All Done!

Abstract Watermelon

Hey Y'all!

I've got an abstract watermelon design today! 

I wasn't plannin to do this type of design til summer rolled around, but I have lost all inspiration lately and this popped into my head. I wanted to do stampin over a different color I was already wearin, but I couldn't find the right design to go over it. So I switched my whole idea and came up with this! 

I wasn't sure about it at first, but I ended up really likin the look of it!

Here's How:

I started with a pink base of Color Club "Electro Candy."

For the stamp I'm usin Born Pretty Store Stamp BP-21

http://www.bornprettystore.com/mixed-patterns-nail-stamp-template-image-plate-born-pretty-bp21-p-17266.html

I start by puttin black polish onto the image. I used Salon Perfect "Oil Slick."

Then I scrape the polish off towards me with my creative shop scraper.

And pick up the image in a rollin motion with my creative shop stamper.

I line my nail up with the image and press into the stamper.

There's the image on the nail.

I cleanup the excess stamp on the skin with a small brush and acetone.

Then I create a green french tip usin China Glaze "Keepin It Teal." I start on one side of the nail and draggin it down the tip.

Then go from the other side and meet them in the middle. 

I let that dry and do a second coat for full opacity.

To finish things off I used a white striper brush from Salon Perfect "White Out."

Use your favorite top coat to seal it all in. I used Salon Perfect.

And that's it!
