Striped down in Easter peek-a-boo nail art (HP13)
Brown and yellow seem familiar? Probably because hubby picked those very colors for the last Hubby's Picks o.0. Think he wants Easter or something? Anyhow I started with this rendition and just LOVED how the colors played together:
How festive and bright is that?! It just screams have a celebration! I went to tape down to make a tape mani with it and when I pulled the tape back up it pulled the glitter and yellow base back up. Oops. So I had to start over.
Ooooh pretty! Base is Love & Beauty multiglitter which took four coats to build up (my nails look acrylic now thanks to that). Stripes from tip to base are Dollish Polish Master Chief, Julep Olivia, and Julep Nessa.
Doing the stripes was surprisingly easy. I really want to do this again in some other colors. I have so many ideas! I definitely recommend a glitter packed base for the bottom layer though. Waiting on four layers to dry is patient work...and I'm not over patient. Until next time....oh yay! The baby just brought me a spider. The joys of being a mommy.

I like the final outcome, but the yellow with the glitter is definitely my favorite.
ReplyDeleteOh I completely agree and actually see myself rocking that manicure in the future. It's such an amazing combination <3
DeleteThis is lovely! I'm not usually a brown person but this is such a great combination :)
ReplyDeleteThanks so much :) Brown against greens and yellows is definitely a winner.
DeleteI hate it when the tape rips of the polish :(
ReplyDeleteYour manicure is very interesting, the combination is an eye catcher, love it!
It really is pretty stunning. I have plans to do this with colors of my choice and perhaps some flakies underneath. It's just time-consuming though :(
