Time (already!) for the second mani of the Mish Mash challenge and this week it's taping. I was bandying some ideas around with the Mr. and we came up with the idea of doing bright colours and black together. He wanted to choose the colours so I let him pick five that looked good together-Barry M-Passion Fruit, Mango, Spring Green, Blue Grape and Rimmel-Sunshine, plus Barry M-Black over the top. I decided to mix it up a little and did one hand with the colours underneath and one with them on top.
(Apologies for the crappy clean up on these, it was really late!)
They did end up a little messy and on any other day I would have probably taken a couple of them off and redone them, but I was tired and just couldn't be bothered, oops! My bf also wanted to get in on the taping action (because he's basically awesome) so I did gradients on his nails and taped over the top...and they actually turned out so much more awesome than my nails! I was a bit jealous because they looked fab!
Anyway, I'm going to try and get back to blogging properly again now, starting with checking out all the other awesome tape manis in the inlinkz below.

I totally want to see your BF's nails! So cool that he lets you do nail art on him! My hubby lets me paint his, but only in "manly" colors. Boo!
ReplyDeleteI love this mani, BTW. You can never go wrong with brights and black!!!
Thanks Kimber!
DeleteYeah, I think it's kinda awesome that he asks me to do nail art on him too, they're his thumbs down the bottom!
I absolutely LOVE that your boyfriend gets involved! Mine will only let me do his nails with a top coat (borrrring). I think all of the designs on here great! Your nails remind me a little of superhero logos!
ReplyDeleteSuperhero logos would be awesome! I'll have to work that one out someday, cheers for the inspiration haha!
DeleteHe's quite excited by the whole nail art thing to be honest, it's kinda cute =)

ReplyDeleteAnd it's so cool that your bf let you do his nails, I am always joking with my bf to let me do his but he always says no! ;)
He asks me to do them! Which is awesome because it means he's taking an interest in my hobbies. Plus he loves rocking out with awesome thumbnails haha
DeleteThank you very much =)
