Ah, the beautiful design of the Great Gatsby. Have you seen the poster for it? No? Go check it out! It's lovely and it's what inspired these nails! Yes, I know, it's been done before and I am late to the game. Well, I don't care, I loved these nails so much, I wore them for SIX days until a stud popped off. So without further adieu...
The studs were placed without tweezers! (Mainly because my nail tweezers hadn't arrived in the mail yet. Talk about tedious.)
My fiancé said I had "dead hands" here, but I think it showcases the nails in a really "relaxed way." Any opinions?
Here's the classic "This is the nail polish I used" photo. My first coat was Maybelline "Bold Gold" then obviously striping tape and then topped with Sinful Colors "Black on Black." This hand was my favorite, I adored the pinky, ring and middle fingers. Funny enough, this is my right hand and I had to use my non-dominate hand to create it and it turned out better than my left!
Finally, a close up of my left hand, the ring finger got messed up a little, but the stellar pointer finger design stole all the attention away from it. ;)
The studs were attached with a dot of SV and then topped each nail with a thick coat of SV, the studs stayed on for awhile and one finally popped off some cleaning/dishes/showers later.
If you enjoyed these nails like this post and share with your polishing friends ^^
These are the coolest! I love the striping tape, so shiny! I might have to get some normal gold ones, because mine is all holo and it might look weird hahah :P
ReplyDeleteThanks Tami! I actually love this mani so much I kept it on for almost a week! Also, I just used the striping tape to create crisp lines, the gold is actually Maybellines Bold Gold, and I painted black over the gold and tape and then peeled the tape up afterwards! I hope that helps, you don't need to buy any more tape :)
DeleteOh WOW!! Stunning, must have taken aaaages!!
ReplyDeletehaha thanks! yes, it took some patience, but I loved it so much in the end, when the mani was overdue I didn't want to take it off! The inspiration one can have with a new nail toy. ( striping tape! )
