OPI "Miami Beet" and Color Club "Harp On It" Shredded Funky French tips

I have tried and failed this manicure before, so I figured it was time to give it a shot again.  I started with my base color of OPI "Miami Beet," applied a coat of top coat and let dry COMPLETELY.  I then, very carefully, cut the shredded pattern into some blue painters tape.  I stuck the tape to my palm a few time to release some of the adhesive, because pulling up your base coats when you are trying to make a design royally stinks!  I placed the tape over the nail and painted the holographic polish over the exposed portions of nail, creating the shredded effect!   Pictures in the light box and direct sunlight!

Orly "Miss Conduct" Holographic Polish with Black Stamped Nail Art

Be prepared to see a lot of holographic polishes on this blog.  I am a junkie for rainbow-y glitter type polishes much like this one.  Although it isn't as dramatic as some of the other polishes you will see, I absolutely LOVE this color by Orly.  Appropriately, it is called Miss Conduct.  I did some black stamping on this manicure as well, that turned out much better than I anticipated.  There is definitely still room for improvement though!

Rainbow Cheetah Print

As if I didn't love rainbow colored anything, a way to make it better, is to add an ANIMAL print! So...Waahlaahh!  For this mani, I used a variety of colors (as you can see). The Base colors for my index finger and ring finger were China Glaze's "Flirty Tankini" and to create the gradient color change I sponged on China Glaze's "Orange You Hot" and "Sun-Kissed" with a makeup sponge. The middle finger and pinky fingers got a base coat of CG's "Sun-Kissed" and then sponged with CG's "I'm With the Lifeguard" and Wet N Wild "Eggplant Frost."  Top that all off with some holographic top coat and then stamp with Konad M57 stamping plate, and you have this creation! Two coats of Seche Vite UV to finish were also used!
