Morning Ladies! It's officially our third challenge post! Today's challenge was yellow nails, and I'll admit, yellow doesn't inspire me one bit. It doesn't help that I'm getting a cold (thank you people that work with Hubs for going to work sick and spreading your germs.), and I am a giant baby when I don't feel well.
This mani also did not want to exist. Something went wrong at every turn with this one! I did alot of swearing and threatening to burn uncooperative polish. ;) I had to apply my base color twice, since the first time as soon as I applied my SV, I managed to whack 3 fingers against the table while doing nothing more than standing up! Then, after the second try at my base color, I whacked another finger. I wasn't about to deal with this base color again though, since it has the worst formula known to man. It was like trying to apply yellow paste! Ugh! Then, after I had applied the black and was satisfied, my top coat smeared the black way more than usual. I think I'm going to start doing a coat of Gelous first when I do tape manis, since the last few times my black has smeared way too much. I've used Sinful's Black on Black for the last few tape mani's (save for my Day 1 mani); maybe that's the issue. My Wet N Wild and Orly black polishes don't seem to be as smeary. Hmmmmm.
I used Pixel Yell-Ooh as my base color (it's one of the few yellows I own), then used striping tape for the mummy lines, and Sinful's Black on Black. I'm not pleased with this one, but like I said, I wasn't about to deal with this any more.
Anyway, I give you the mani that didn't want to be. I apologize for the smearing, but I wasn't about to re-do the whole thing after the issues I had already dealt with!
I actually really liked this IRL, since the smearing wasn't obvious. Macro mode is so unforgiving. Meh! Anyway, this looked really cool IRL. I have to try this design again sometime.
Hopefully all your yellow manis were much more cooperative!!! I can't wait to see them! I'm going to rest for an hour or so, then I'll be back to see all the awesome manis. I also have a new Color Show LE to share. It's officially the ugliest polish I own, yet it's so ugly it's pretty. :)
