Pastels 2: Pink

It is time for another pastel manicure.  I love pastels, but I am finding that I don't have enough of them in my collection!  Since I am on a "no-buy" right now, I will have to make do with what I've got.  LOL!

Today I went with pinks.  I had a polish in mind that I wanted to use and a technique that I thought would work out OK.  I knew I wanted to use Revlon Popular in this one and that I was feeling a tape mani.


I used 1 coat of Milani White as my undie polish (as usual).  In case you are wondering why I use this one all of the time: I have 2 bottles of it and I don't especially love it.  It is a good undie polish but requires 2-3 coats for full coverage.  I then put on 2 coats of Wet 'n Wild Tickled Pink and topped with some Seche Vite.  I did my best to let this thoroughly dry before starting the tape portion.

I did ONE NAIL AT A TIME.  I used regular scotch tape for this, but I just made sure to remove most of the stickiness from the tape before applying it to my nail.  I applied 1 coat of Revlon Popular to the tips and quickly removed the tape.  I let that dry as much as possible and added the silver striping tape.  I then put 3 coats of Seche Vite on top of this.  Does that seem like overkill?  I have such an issue with the striping tape edges peeling up that I wanted to be sure it was firmly set.


I am in love with this!  It is just so pretty!  The striping tape makes it look neat & polished!
