31 Day Challenge - Day 12 - Stripes

Hi guys!

Moving swiftly on with the 31 Day Challenge, we are now up to prompt number 12 - stripes. I never really know what to do when it comes to striped nails and I wanted to do something a little bit different to what I originally planned (nautical nails, anyone?)

Here's what I came up with:

Using China Glaze 'Fairy Dust' on a naked nail is one of my most favourite things to do ever in the world of nail art. Look at how sparkly it is! I thought it teamed perfectly with the colourful stripes, and gives the design more of a 'fun' feel to it.

On top of my Fairy Dust base, I added strips of striping tape in random widths along the nail, filling in sections with 'Mating Surfaces', 'No Nails, No Life' and 'An Even Bigger Splash' by WAH London, and Barry M's 2013 limited edition yellow, which annoyingly doesn't have a name! (Why do Barry M do that?!)

I finished the look with some clear rhinestones from a gem wheel that I picked up in Poundland, and sealed it all in with WAH London 'Classy Glassy Glossy Topcoat'.

Hope you like them :)

Thanks for reading!
