MANICure Monday | A Hot Mess!

February 18, 2013 by Alisha 23 Comments

So er uh, what had happened was…. Let’s put it this way, I’m sticking to just coming up with stuff on my own and not trying to recreate mess I find on Pinterest.  That place is evil and the tutorials make it seem so easy that even a monkey could do it!  Well I’m not falling for it anymore…. hmph!

So I came across this super cute tape mani while looking for inspiration.  I saw this picture on the blog The World is the Stage and thought “Oh I could do this… this looks easy.”  (insert side eye to myself for thinking the impossible)

“hhhmmm… looks simple enough, let me try it!”

So I grabbed my polishes and some tape and went to work.  I read that painter’s tape works well and makes it easier to remove the tape, but I couldn’t find any in the garage.  I know I have several rolls of it but it’s cold as a mutha in the garage and “ain’t nobody got time for dat” looking around and freezing just to find some darn tape.

So I applied 2 coats of NYC white nail polish.  Well at least that part was easy!

Next I got my tape and began to place it on my nails like they were in the picture.  I applied one coat of a Zoya poilish (can’t recall the name) and then removed the tape after it dried.

So far so good!

So this is when it all started to go down hill.  I applied a coat of quick dry clear polish but I think I applied to much.  When I took off the tape it pulled the orange color up a bit.  :/  But hey I wasn’t going to give up that easily so I kept on because I just knew the end result would be the bomb! Booyah!  I got my black striping polish and applied the lines, but by this point I was just over the whole thing and wanted to hurry up and get it over with!

                   Oh well I at least will give myself an “A” for effort! LOL

This is all I have to show and I quickly removed it after I realized how jacked up it looked.  Oh well… see ya next week with something simple and easy like polka dots!

      It’s because it’s not all crisp and pretty like the inspiration picture. LOL

    *That’s* a hot mess?

    Woman.

    Your hot mess is my pie-in-the-sky-gorgeous-nails-dreamy-dream. Which is why you were invited to pin to Sverve’s nail it board. Your Monday Manicures? Would make fab pins. Just sayin’. 😉
