Plain as pie: I love experimenting with my nails! It's kind of ridiculous... my nail color changes bi, if not tri-weekly. This manicure is something new I tried, inspired by this. This was pretty time intensive only because I wanted to save my "french manicure stickers" and re-used them to make the double stripe. It would have been much easier to just use more "french manicure stickers" and just get it all done at once.
Pretty simply, all you have to do is apply your base coat, then follow with 2 - 3 coats of your base color. Once completely dry, apply "french manicure stickers"to each nail. You want to use two nail strips per nail, leaving space between the two strips - the width being completely up to you. Apply your second color until opaque - usually only takes one coat if you are using a dark color. Remove "french manicure stickers" immediately, let dry, then apply your top coat.
P.S. By "french manicure stickers" I mean those little guide stickers that you can buy in the nail section of any drugstore, such as this.
{what i used}
CND stickey anchoring base coat
Essie sew psyched (base color)
Wet n' Wild black (stripe color)
Seche Vite dry fast topcoat
Ah, how cool! I love the color combo and the pattern :)
