NOTD: Candy stripes and glitter tips
Tuesday, March 19, 2013It’s officially Spring tomorrow
and already I'm bringing out all my pastels and brights.
This manicure consists of two main
shades both from Essie and two glitters from China Glaze. On my index and
middle finger are three coats of Absolutely shore which Essie describes as 'a soft sea
foam green', a pretty fair description if you ask me.
On the
rest I applied three coats of Essie's Van D'go. Van D'go is said to
be a 'peachy keen shade' and is lovely but it always makes my hand look a bit
dark and tanned whenever I’m wearing it.

Products I used:
- Index: Essie's Absolutely shore as base
Using striping tape to line the tips and paint over with Essie's Van D'go
- Middle: Absolutely shore as base
Sponged with China Glaze's Lorelei's tiara on tips
- Ring: Van D'go as base
Using striping tape again to line the nail and paint over with Absolutely shore
Stamped the lollipop image from plate BM02 with OPI's Conquistadorable color
Went over the image with China Glaze's Ring in the red since OPI’s CC didn’t seem to show properly
- Pinkie: Van D'go as base
Sponged with ring in the red on tips

This is how the manicure looked before I added the stamping. I could’ve left everything like so
but for some reason the striping tape left behind some black marks. It's most
obvious on the accent nail which kept annoying me so I covered it with a
lollipop image. Much prefer the 'before' look.
What's your favourite pastel shades?
