Artsy Wednesday STRiPES

Welcome to another week of Artsy Wednesday! This weeks theme is: Stripes.... I've decided to incorporate chevron stripes into my design for this week

Polish used:

•Julep Meryl -gray creme
•OPI Grape set match- Purple shimmer
•Sally Hansen Fairy Dust Pink-light pink linear holo
•Seche Vite-clear top coat

I painted my thumb,index & pinky with 2 coats of Grape set match. My two accent nails were given two coats of Meryl. I let the polish fully dry brgore moving on. I then taped off the chevron pattern & painted on one coat of Fairy Dust pink. I removed the tape and added purple rhinestones for extra sparkle. I topped it all off with Seche Vite.

I hope You enjoyed this weeks Stripe inspired manicure, be sure and check out the rest of the Artsy Wednesday crew to see More Striped Artwork:

      Thank You Maria! This polish is one of my favorites...it's about 10 years old. It's the only linear holo I own and My mother gave her to me...so needles to say she is special.

      Thank Tou BG....It was a little patchy in some areas and my Seche Vite picked up some black particles that transferred onto my nail...drove me mad. Lol but it's all over now.
