#31DC2013 Stripes With Nerdlacquer Cyance Fiction And Zoya Solange

Purchased

I'm not very steady when it comes to painting lines, nor do I have patience for tape manis, so it goes without saying that today's challenge is literally a challenge for me.  I decided to keep it as simple as possible and hope for the best!

I started with a base of Nerdlacquer Cyance Fiction.  I knew this was an amazing polish but that wasn't validated until I finally used it today.  It is a delightful teal jelly shade that contains a brilliant pink shimmer and gold hex glitter.  I used three easy coats here and did not get overwhelmed by the glitter during application.

Next I freehanded diagonal stripes of Zoya Solange. I wanted to create a Chevron pattern across my nails.

The stripes covered up more of the base than I anticipated but I do like the overall effect.  The texture plays off the glitter very well. However, in retrospect I think a pink texture may have been better.

  1. I think you did well with the stripes, I'm no good at stripes so I used striping tape for this challenge.
