Chevron Striping Tape Mani

Recently when browsing Born Pretty Store, I saw that they now offered chevron striping tape. I’m a huge fan of chevron nail styles, so I went ahead and picked up a roll to try out. This is the first mani I’ve use them on!
Advanced stamping is one of those techniques that I have been in awe of for years, but for multiple reasons I had not managed to conquer it. My main problem was that I was trying to place dried decals on my nails and could never get them to lay down nicely because my nails curve quite a bit from side-to-side as well as front-to-back. I finally found the way to do it that works best for me and I am super pleased with the results!
That is correct, this is round up 1 of probably 2-3 because I plan on continuing to do a ton of Halloween and fall-themed nail designs for October. I’m following three different challenges and while I probably will not get all of those prompts done, it gives me a lot of options to choose from.
I cannot believe I forgot to post about this mani! This one was done for my #mommysmanimonday group and the prompt was to use both neon and pastel polish in a single mani. I did a mix of dotticure and chevron.
I’m a bit early for Cinco de Mayo, so I may have to do something similar then, but I got this amazingly fun glitter from Sinful Colors called Fierce Fiesta and couldn’t help myself from doing a full mani with colors inspired by the glitter!
We’ve had some warmer weather here in my neck of the woods, but lots of rain and overcast skies. My color choices were largely inspired by our weather: the colors are reminiscent of spring but muted and dusty.
I’ve been loving dark colors lately, but every once in a while, I know I need a big change, just to recharge. I realized it has been a while since I had done any chevron manicures, so I set out to remedy that!
It had been a while since I had done any chevrons and it is one of my favorite looks for my nails, so I decided it was a good time to pull out my old stand by. I put a little spin on it by making the chevron accent nails a gradient and I love how this mani turned out!
Some of the ladies on my nail thread claim I can make ugly colors look good and also have an aversion for the color Chartreuse. I set out to see if they were right and when I spotted Butter London – Jaded Jack at Marshall’s for $5, I couldn’t resist.
I knew that for todays mani I wanted to do chevron accent nails and it took me a while to settle on the colors. I wanted to do fallish colors, but still wanted something bright and eye-catching.
