Chevron & Striping

I'm a huge fan of nail art and regularly participate in Manicure Monday on Instagram and Twitter and plan on posting pics and tutorials of my nails on here! Today, I did accent nails with striping tape and glittered chevrons! For the grey, I used OPI's Nein! Nein! Nein! OK Fine! and for the pinkish nude, I used OPI's My Very First Knockwurst. I'll admit, the grey was a couple days old and I didn't feel like completely changing my polish, so I decided on some "sprucing." (The grey does have to be completely dry though, as the mani involves pressing down tape.) I used this artist tape I picked up from Joann's and it works perfectly for striping! Cut the tape at angles and line them up as two points (like ^). Paint two coats of the pink and quickly pull off the tape (if it dries too much, the edges get funky). Then I used a glitter striping polish (Milani's Art of Silver) and outlined the chevrons. For my pointer finger, I simply did two stripes of silver striping tape and a top coat. However, the striping tape barely lasted me twelve hours (and half of that was spent sleeping!) I'm going to have to figure out how to make it last because I loved the look!
