Blue Me Away! by Sally Hansen and Shine of the TImes Tape Mani

It is time for another installment of Monkey See, Monkey Do. If your new to my blog and have never heard of this, it is where a group of us, Crumpet's Nail Tarts, recreate mani's we see around the web, (usually from Pinterest or Facebook,) and post them on to our blogs. I found the inspiration for today's mani on Victoria's Nails Blog.

I kinda did something stupid and used Blue Me Away! from Sally Hansen, which has a glossy finish, instead of just opting to use Phoebe from Zoya, which is already a matte polish! Ugh. I didn't think about this until I had to redo my pointer finger for the THIRD time due to being impatient! Oh well. Live and learn, right. When I applied Shine Of The Times, I used to tape to make sure I got straight lines. :-) I love me some straight lines.

Base coat: Sally Hansen Diamond Strength Hardener

Base color: Blue Me Away! from Sally Hansen - 2 coats

Flakie: Shine Of The Times from Essie

Top coat: Nail Art Special Effect! Topper from Essence - I did not apply this over Shine Of The Times

All pictures were taken inside with out the flash

Can you tell that I didn't use tape on my pointer finger? I pretty much gave up. :-( What do you guys think of this? If you want to see some more Monkey See, Monkey Do mani's, check out these other blogs.
