Tape Mani 1

Hello again!

I've been wanting to try a tape mani in such a long time. I've been eyeballing them for a couple of weeks, especially those done by Nailside here on Blogspot. 

You must check her blog out: http://nailside.blogspot.com/. She posted a few tutorials for these "explosion" manis.



The polishes I used are:
  • Base:       China Glaze's Sunset Sail
  • Phase 1:   Nivea Calcium Power in Hot Coral (#43)
  • Phase 2:   China Glaze's Aztec Orange


This is my first attempt, so please be indulgent!

Phase 1:   All the pictures were taken in natural daylight (late PM).






Phase 2:   All the pictures were taken in natural daylight (late PM).

  2. Thanks! As I wrote in my post, this is not one of my designs. I copied Nailside's explosion tape mani. I do love it with these colors though!
