Blue Plaid Nails: Week 4 of the Year of Polish Challenge

I was finally able to sit down and do some more nails.  Today marks week 4 of the Year of Polish Challenge which was Plaid Manis.  I decided to make use of two, beautiful Julep polishes that work well together along with some simple black polish. 

These are pretty straight forward.  I prepped the nails with Julep's Nail Therapy and then one coat of Julep's Amy.  Next I used Sinful Colors Black on Black to make two vertical black lines in different angles across each nails using a striper brush.  Next, I used Julep's Drew to add in the pink opposite lines and filled in each set of lines with the opposite color.  Last, I used Julep's Fast Drying Top Coat to protect the design.  I do love these colors and this simple, plaid design.

Plaid, Rock Star nails

I was looking to add a little something to the plaid design Ive been doing lately and saw some bedding online that inspired me to do some hot pink and black plaid, rocker style nails. 

Polishes Used:

Sinful Colors Secret Admirer-base color all nails

Wet N Wild Pink-plaid stripes

Insta-Dri's Whirlwind White-white lettering, star base, heart n crossbone's base

Revlon's Gold Coin-star and heart color

Kiss Nail Art Black-star and heart outline

Xtremewear's Celeb City-studs on white letters



Pretty good for a first try.  I may work to perfect this design but overall, I love it.
