First Chevrons for 2015

I got some new chevron nail vinyls so I thought I would try them :)

I painted my usual base coat. Then on my thumb and ring ringer I painted 2 coats of China Glaze White On White. On my index and little finger I painted 2 coats of A England Rose Briar/Sleeping Beauty. And finally on my middle finger I painted 2 coats of Essie Hors D'Ouvres, I am obsessed with using this polish lately!

I used the nail stickers and placed them horizontally across my nail (thumb and ring finger). I then used Barry M Grey to fill in most of the spaces, then in one of them I filled in the space with A England Briar Rose/Sleeping Beauty. I did this as quickly as I could so that I could peel the stickers off while the polish was still wet.

For any parts that had gone into the white a bit I used the Barry M White Nail Art Pen to get rid of them.

I then applied a top coat of Seche Vite to all nails and that is the mani finished. Love this one!

In your face Chevron

This is my latest mani using chevron's, I also used a polish that I have had for ages but haven't yet been brave enough to use yet. I am not entirely sure I like it but here it is anyway :)

I firstly applied my basecoat and then I applied 3 coats of China Glaze Sun Worshiper. I had to use 3 coats for this polish as it is quite see-through. Also as you can see from the picture, it dries a lot differently to any other China Glaze polish I have used. It is as if it dries between shiny and matte, I am not sure why this is but I still love the colour. Not sure if it really suits my skin tone though.

I then applied a coat of Barry M Pink Iridescent. I know this polish looks pink in the bottle, but this never comes out pink at all on the nail. Applying this on top has definitely made this shiny rather than matte :) I also think the glitter has made it look a little less harsh against my skin.

I then used striping tape to create chevrons. On my ring finger I did a few across the nail and on all the other nails I just created chevron tips. I am definitely not using striping tape again for a very long time, I get sooo annoyed when using it, and it takes me so long to do a mani, but eventually I got there :)

I then applied Barry M grey over the bits of the nail I wanted it on and removed the striping tape before it dried to create the sharp lines. Once this was dry I applied the top coat and it was all done!

I do like the colour, but I don't think it really suits my skin as I have very fair skin. But I am going to be brave and keep it on, and now the sun is starting to go away this can be my last bright mani for the summer.

I hope you like it :) if you have any questions or anything to say please comment below!
