The One With the ILNP Mega X Tape Manicure
9:00:00 AMGood morning Polished World! Welcome to March! Can you believe that the first two months of the year are already gone? To be honest, I feel like January and February always fly right on by, then March and April draaaag. That's because Spring is around the corner and I just want winter to end, but of course, it won't. Mark my words, we will get another snow storm and possibly one ice storm before Spring.
Well since I did only pink nails last month, it's time for a little black, white, and silver manicure to refresh the blog so to speak. I always need a little cleanse after I stick to certain colors, and for me the best way to do that is with these shades. Of course, that means using my favorite polishes ever.
Let's take a look!
Colors Used:
- ORLY - Liquid Vinyl
- ORLY - White Tips
- ILNP - Mega X
Isn't this amazing? I absolutely LOVE Mega X and how it looks underneath black and white polish! These tape manicures are something that I have loved creating for ages, and this one is no exception. A year ago, I created this manicure where I used literally 100 pieces of tape to create the most perfect, awesome, X shaped tape manicure. Since that manicure took forever to create, I didn't want to re-create it today, so I opted for the random zig zag look. Looking back, I can't believe it was a year ago that I did that other manicure.
Anyways, just like the other manicure, Mega X truly shines under those black and white polishes. The silver holographic is so strong that it truly gives the whole manicure a different dimension. To get the look, I started with a base coat of Mega X. I then went through and randomly added the tape almost in "Star" patterns. You know, those stars you messily doodled as a kid on your notes in school? That's what I was kind of going for. Every nail mastered it except the index finger, not sure what happened there.
What do you think? Love this look? Think I should try the 100 tape design again but maybe with a different color scheme?
Until next time, <3.
