This weeks Sunday homework assignment was black & white. Of course the first thing that came to my mind was polka dots. I was able to refrain from it though.
I'm a little later on posting than usual so have had a chance to see Nicole Gets Nailed first. Please check out her Dotty French. It's amazing! I did not put as much effort in to mine and now I regret it. :oP
To begin I painted just the tips of my nails in Sally Hansen Xtreme Wear in 'White On'. I then used two pieces of striping tape across the white section and covered the full nail in Rimmel's 'Black Satin'. Before letting it dry completely I pulled off the striping tape exposing the white underneath.
I've showed a pick with Gosh's matt top coat and one with nothing. If I were to leave it shiny I would definitely use a top coat. It gets a little bumpy where the tape is taken off
Which one do you guys prefer? I'm really liking the matt top coat on black in general.
I love this, very simple and elegant. The shiny speaks to me more, but the matte looks pretty too - don't make me decide!!!
ReplyDeleteElegant and nice - I think I prefer the matte...
ReplyDeleteVery elegant! I prefer the matte :)
ReplyDeleteReally slick and striking in the matte and definitely an inspiring fall nail art look.

I love black in matte! Its so....sexy! Plus it make shorter nails look better with the color I think! But they both look great!
