The other day as I was admiring my latest nail polish color and ogling over my color collecting addiction, I told my boyfriend I had enough nail polishes to paint my nails a different color every week for an entire year. To which he responded, "You should do that! And make a blog about it!"
WEEK 2: Naked Plaid
For quite some time now I have had this adorable little nail art tape*, but I haven't gotten around to using it due to pure impatience. You see, I use tape to mask off designs and I like to give my base color a good day to dry before applying tape out of a fear of the color peeling up along with the tape. My fear IS from prior experience mind you. And honestly when I want to paint my nails I want it done there and then, not over a period of two whole days! So the tape had gone unused.....
UNTIL NOW!
I finally overcame this impatience, not by being patient of course, but by weaseling my way around the problem. I decided to use the tape on my bare naked nail. Gasp. Don't worry, my nails weren't actually naked, just colorless, they had a solid base and top coat from a few days prior. The pantyhose of nail art.
Unsure of exactly what I was aiming for, and making it up as I went, I grabbed one of my absolute favorite polishes. Candie's Concrete Jungle. Maybe it's the crazy awesome name or the fact that I am sort of obsessed with gray (Don't believe me? Just check my closet) but this is one of my most used polishes. I also grabbed a newly bought Pure Ice blue to try out.
