Manicure of the Month

My love for stripes has been well documented here on PPF…so for June, I decided to do a manicure inspired by this adorable Kate Spade tote.  Not only are the stripes fun, but the colors are undeniably feminine & summery!  In an effort to save time, I did just one wide stripe instead of multiple ones (it’s easier & quicker).  I went with two different shades of pink, but you can choose any colors you want.  The good news is that the only special “tool” you need is some Scotch tape.  Here are the steps to recreating:

Paint one coat with your base color and let dry completely – I waited a couple hours before moving onto the next step.

Use small pieces of Scotch tape to cover the top & bottom parts of your nail, leaving a straight line across the middle.  Paint the second color on the exposed quarter of your nail.  Let dry for 10-15 minutes before carefully peeling off the tape.  Apply a clear top coat & you’re done!

Products I used:
c/o Zoya Shelby & c/o Zoya Lara, c/o Zoya Armor Top Coat

    Love this manicure! I never thought to use scotch tape to create lines and designs! Perfect. Also loving these colors. I think you can definitely see the Kate Spade bag in this manicure. Now you just need the bag to match 🙂

    I love doing this type of mani as well, makes me feel like I have great skills when I don't. To make it a bit easier I find just using one thin piece of tape across the middle instead of one on top and bottom is easier. You can just stick it on and paint straight over the top. (To keep the same colours in the same spot, just use the other colour first)

    I tried this. Lets just say it was difficult to do this. We own a painting company and when my husband saw what I was trying to do he jumped in to help. LOL at the end the results were great ( I used dark blue and mint green). I will try it again but with the above suggestion.

    Thanks for all these fabulous ideas!
