I began with two coats of China Glaze Prey Tell. It is the perfect, dark wine red shade that I've been craving. Then I laid down the tape, working one finger at a time, and painted a thick coat of China Glaze Twinkle Lights. It's a beautiful holiday colour, with tiny gold, red, and green glitters. I did my ring finger first as an accent, then my thumb, then ok I'll do my index too so they're kind of alternating, then what the heck, I'll just do my whole hand.

I was a bit more adept in laying down the tape this time, but there were a few curse words along the way, and moments of wanting to bite and gnash the tape off with my teeth. BUT I love the end result so much, I'm sure I'll do something like this again. For the sake of my sanity though, I'm going to get thicker striping tape.
Reminder to my friends in Canada and the States to enter my holiday giveaway here!
ahhh i love them! so perfect for the holidays. isn't prey tell the most awesome color? also, i do that process all the time, mostly when i'm deciding whether to do the same design on my right hand as i did on my left - okay, just an accent nail. alright fine, two accent nails. okay let's just do them alternating. well now i'm almost done so i might as well take it all the way! glad to know i'm not the only one haha.
