A fun striping tape mani!

Hello All!

I have a pretty fun mani today for you. I saw this one on pintrest, and it was stunning, (I don't know who actually did it, but I did not create this look, just to be clear!)

But I couldn't do it until I got striping Tape, which I think is a necessity for every blogger to have in their nail arsenal! But I couldn't find it anywhere! Enter the Born Pretty Store, they e-mailed me and asked if I could review something for them and I jumped at the chance and picked out this lovely Striping tape!. It comes with 12 packs of striping tape, and it is perfect for all those striping tape mani's, like the one I am going to show you!



First off, I started out with Gosh Holographic as a base, and then I placed the striping tape on my nails, and painted Milani's Black Swift over it, and then while it was still wet, I peeled off the striping tape and voila!! 

So simple and so easy and yet such a stunning result!

So what do you all think??

And if you go to the Born Pretty Store you can put in my code AEL91 and get 10 percent off your order!


What do you think? Would you use striping tape?

Gosh Holographic Hero!

Hello All!

So, today I have a pretty special post for you. It's Gosh's Holographic Hero! Yes, I couldn't get the original  but I really like this one. And that is saying something for me.

Most of you know (or don't, but are going to find out soon) That I don't really like Holo's. Now before you grab your torch and pitchfork, hear me out! To see Holo's in their full glory you need sun. And I, as most of you know (Or don't, but soon will) live near Seattle, Washington, where, and I quote Sleepless in Seattle here "It rains nine months out of the year in Seattle." 

You see my problem? 

No sun, no amazing Holo's.. no glorious polishes! They all look rather bland in the shade which is sad!

However my outlook has been changing a bit, starting with the lovely butter London Holo's and now, I have this one, (And I just bought some of the Color Club Halo Hues, but it has been storming for the past week. boo)

And that brings us to this, Holographic Hero. 

It's an amazing silver linear Holo polish that goes on super well! I used two coats for the below pictures and no top coat! I tried to get as much of the Holo as I could! 

Enjoy!
