.Apples & Custard Nails.

The next colour from Ciaté is a beautiful green shade called Apples & Custard*. The name itself inspired this manicure, plus i wanted to use my new striping tape some more!

I love the colour of this polish and the picture reflects it’s true tone well. It’s not a mint but it’s still pastel and perfect for this time of year and autumn too. It goes on really nicely and dries super fast just like the Iced Frappe shade i played with last week. I’m finding the wear of these polishes to be pretty good too, especially because i’m a bit rough on my hands and don’t tend to think before plunging them into my bag or washing up! Highly recommended polish indeed.

Polish: Ciaté Apples & Custard* and Model’s Own Lemon Meringue. The Gold Studs* i used are from Born Pretty Store.

You can grab yourself a bottle of Apples & Custard from Ciaté HERE for just £9!

.Monochrome Stripe.

When i saw this manicure from Sophie at My Awesome Beauty i knew i had to give it a go. So i ordered myself some striping tape and got painting!

I haven’t really done Sophie’s design justice here but it was my first time using striping tape and i found it a little tricky! I used the tape to first mark out the sections and help paint the polish where it’s supposed to be. Then when they were all painted i peeled off the first set of tape and stuck new lines over the top to clean them all up. All that’s left to do is trim the edges of the tape and seal with a topcoat.

Polish: Barry M Black, Essie Master Plan and OPI Funny Bunny. Striping tape brought off ebay.
I can’t wait to have a proper play around with this tape and see what i can do, i have a load of colours to try out and a few ideas!

Have you tried striping tape nails yet?
