Catching Up: Peach Smoothie

I have another summer manicure that I did and never got to write about for you tonight.  I wanted to do something simple, yet eye-catching for this one so I went with a striping tape mani!
These colors worked fabulously together and I had no problems with application of either.  The biggest, most time-consuming, part of this is dealing with the tape.  I cut 40 pieces to do 4 nails!  Good times!
  • Revlon Peach Smoothie
  • Pure Ice Coral Reef
I used 2 coats of the Peach Smoothie to get a solid base color.  When that was dry, I added a layer of Seche Vite to harden the polish so it didn't dent when I put the tape on it.
Working one nail at a time, I laid down the tape where I wanted it, then painted 2 coats of Coral Reef on top and removed the strips of tape while the polish was still wet to ensure a crisp line.  Once that was dry, I finished it off with another layer of Seche Vite.

  3. Coral Reef is gorgeous! This is so pretty, but cutting up striping tape is quite possibly my least favorite thing in the world! lol

  4. Me too Sarah! I wish I could pre-cut some and store it someplace so it would be ready on a whim, but I have pets and their hair gravitates to sticky things. LOL
