I am back! I got home from Florida yesterday. I had a great time! So, I have been planning this manicure since I was still in Florida and have been super excited to get to do my nails again. I finally got the chance and I am super happy that my bare nails grew out nicely while I was in Florida.
I started out with a coat of Essie Protein Base Coat and then painted on two coats of Essie Haute as Hello. That polish takes a long time to dry, for some reason. I then applied one coat of Sally Hansen Dries Instantly so the tape wouldn't pull up my base color.
Before starting the manicure I had cut ten squares of scotch tape. I applied a corner of one to each of my nails so I would be left with peach triangles at the tips after applying my next color. The polish that I painted over top of everything is Sinful Colors Cool Gray. This is a very opaque color, so it completely hid the peach. After painting the gray on each nail I removed the tape.
After that was all dry I used a silver striper (Salon Perfect Silver Plated) to line the place where the two colors met. I was planning on doing that all along, but after taping I actually needed to do that to make the manicure look cleaner. Not all the lines were completely clean, but the silver polish over that hid the messy bits perfectly.
I finished off with two coats of Dries Instantly.
