Hey loves! Today I'll be going to Island Reggae Festival at Great America so of course I had to do some Rasta nails! I was so tempted to do a gradient, but I did a red/yellow/green gradient just a few weeks ago so I wanted to do something new. I was inspired by NailStories and CoewlessPolish for this design. I used China Glaze Hey Sailor, China Glaze Happy Go Lucky, and China Glaze Gaga for Green to make 3 stripes for my base. After it was completely dry, I placed striping tape in random patterns on my nails and then used OPI Black Onyx. I did each nail one by one so I could remove the tape right away. I really like this look. Even though cutting and placing the tape was kind of tedious for me, I will be giving this another try!
oh! very neat! love it
ReplyDeleteThanks!
DeleteThis is so good.
ReplyDeleteI love how they are different on each nail!
ReplyDeleteThanks! It was tempting to do the simple stripes, but I knew more little ones would show the colors underneath better.
DeleteLovely how the green, yellow and red come through the black.
ReplyDeleteLooks so, so great! :] Totally worth the time.
ReplyDeleteTedious, indeed, but oh so worth it! : )
DeleteThanks ladies! I did get a lot of compliments on these so yes, so worth the time! =]
