Rainbow Honey The Worst Possible Thing Upgrade

I got my new bottle of Rainbow Honey The Worst Possible Thing in the mail yesterday so of course I had to check it out. My only problem?....I'm still loving this NOPI (Nicole by O.P.I) mani I showed you yesterday. *sigh*...What's a girl to do? Ohh I know...upgrade my mani!

Oh yeah, and BONUS...I finally got NOPI Count on Me to photograph pretty good without looking like an oompa loompa

So the upgrade consists of two coats of Rainbow Honey The Worst Possible Thing added to my ring finger. But of course that wasn't enough, so I pulled out my handy craft scissors and scotch tape. I layered the tape with the design facing the same way on each finger and then put another coat of Orly Liquid Vinyl (which was my base color under Count On Me). When you pull off the tape you get this cool 'split' look. I used the same tape on my ring finger for a french tip type effect. No top coat.

As usual I got camera happy and took a bunch of pictures for you guys, so I hope you like what you see. I know I love it!

Rainbow Honey The Worst Possible Thing
 
And how cute is this packaging?!? The Worst Possible Thing comes from Rainbow Honey's Equestria Collection which was inspired by Hasbro's My Little Pony: Friendship is Magic. This collection has 8 very unique polishes that you can check out on Dee's website here. The Worst Possible Thing was a bit thick in consistency, but it definitely allowed for great coverage of the glitter. It's described as shimmering with opalescent flakes in purple and blue and a multitude of holographic and iridescent glitters. And boy is it!

I totally think that The Worst Possible Thing and Count On Me compliment each other really well! What do you think?

Tape Mani

Today I have for you a tape mani that was inspired by a couple new polishes. While milling around Walgreens I grabbed a couple SinfulColors that were on sale. They were waving at me with all their brightness and I just had to have them. May I introduce you to Innocent and Boogie Nights (my two newbies).

Sinfulcolors Innocent and Boogie Nights

Innocent is gorgeous creme green while Boogie Nights is a neon orange in the bottle but is toned down a bit on a the nail. Trust me, it's still bright enough :) This picture has Boogie Nights looking pink but the color on my thumb nail is pretty true. I originally planned to do this mani with Innocent and Boogie Nights on each nail however it kind of morphed mid mani to using different colors on each nail.

Ultimately I ended up using NYC French White Tip as the base and Jordana Boy Oh Boy, Funky Fingers Cheshire, elf Fuscha, SinfulColors Innocent and SinfulColors Boogie Nights from pinky to thumb.

I find that I have to leave lots of time between my base coat and the nail art or the tape just makes a mess of my base coat. That's even with blotting the tape on my hand a few times to reduce the stickiness. These lines ended up pretty straight and without smudges so I was pretty happy with them. 

Have you ever done any scotch tape nail art?

Thanks for giving me a read ~ Linda
