Jewel Toned Tape Mani

Hey friends! How about a simple tape mani for today? I figured the easiest way for me to get all in to fall colors is to do more nail art. And, I do love these, so that helps.

 

 

  

 

Used:

 

O.P.I - My Vampire Is Buff

Essie - The Lace Is On

Salon Perfect - Ivy League

 

Blue Painters tape

 

I read on Chalkboard Nails about using the blue painters tape instead of scotch tape for this kind of thing, and holy crap does it ever make a difference! Perfect, clean lines. Never again, I tell. Also, I'm kinda loving mixing darker fall colors with a more subdued neutral shade. It softens the look for those who are pasty - like myself. Dark colors are notorious for washing out my already pale complexion. Which is probably why I am not a fan of fall/winter collections as a whole!

So if you have had problems with tape designs in the past, go grab some blue painters tape and prepare to be blown away! Makes sense tho, right? After all, that's what it was made for!!!

Salon Perfect Pink Mystique

Hey all! Hope you guys had a great weekend! Today, I have a polish you may have seen in my review of Glossy Glam. Ever since the fervor over the Salon Perfect neon collision glitters, I have been interested in trying out the brand. Since they are only sold at Walmart, and mine sucks, I had a picked over display to choose from. This is not normally a color I would grab, but I am glad I did.

Salon Perfect - Pink Mystique

 

Pink Mystique is a raspberry pink loaded with golden shimmer. I really need to get over my red/pink phobia, because they flatter my skin tone so well. Formula is fantastic! Almost a one coater, but I added a second for extra depth. Application was buttery smooth, no issues what so ever. 

 

I am super impressed by the quality of this polish. Cheaper brands can be hit or miss, but this is definitely a win. I hope the other colors are just as nice! I may even get a few from the new fall line. Which is kind of a big deal since they are all really dark and vampy!
