Taupe Tips

First came two coats of OPI Meet Me On The Star Ferry, then I taped off the ends of my nails and painted a french tip in Pure Ice Taupe Drawer. I also noticed at this time that I have two Pure Ice polishes that are labeled Taupe Drawer. One is more pink and the other is this more purple colour. Sigh...

Strawberry Pie

For Father's Day my sister made a strawberry pie for my dad. So I decided to paint this strawberry design on my nails. I started with OPI Log On To Love. It's the perfect colour for strawberries. Then I used a toothpick to draw on the base (Finger Paint, Papier Mache) for what would become the green leaves. This white base helps the green pop. Then I painted directly over that white base with China Glaze Tree Hugger.After everything was nice and dry I used a toothpick again to make little yellow dots for the seeds using Sinful Colors Pull Over.

Mermaid's Tears

This is from the Pirates of the Caribbean collection by OPI. I have a shade a sun picture. I did two semi thick layers of this. The first one goes on really sheer and I was worried, but after the second coat it's perfect. It's also has a great feel to the formula. At first it looked streaky but then it smoothed itself out quite nicely. I'm on a matte craze, so after my SV topcoat dried i applied a thick layer of China Glaze Matte Magic over it all. One picture is a side-by-side. I love it.

Shattering Tree Hugger

For this mani I started with two thick coats of Ice's No Means No. Then I used scotch tape to tape off the section that I wanted to be China Glaze's Tree Hugger. After everything was dry I just painted OPI Black Shatter over Tree Hugger and of course SV over everything. This mani would be more suited to Halloween I think.
