Warm Stripes
2 Jun
Super easy mani today. It’s inspired by an Old Navy shirt that I picked up on clearance a few weeks ago. This actually took a deceptively long time to do.
I only have one off white, creamy colored polish; OPI Swedish Nude. While I love the color, it’s got awful coverage! This took five coats for acceptable coverage. Five coats! I should’ve started with a coat of white, then put Swedish Nude over the top. I did the stripes with a thin striping brush. My stripes are Sinful Colors Nirvana (brown), Milani Pink Hottie, Sinful Colors Pull Over (yellow), and Julep Alicia (coral). I finished it off with Poshé.
Who has a good recommendation for a warm, off white, creamy colored polish with good coverage? Five coats is not acceptable!
Beautiful!! I love the colors!
I’ll have to think about a polish that does not require 5 coats (that is ridiculous!). But I’ve gotta say those stripes are amazing! And freehand? Wow.
wow!
love it!
This looks great, but I have to agree 5 coats is just too much.
I love stripe mani’s and the color combo
I second the need for a more opaque off white polish… I bet OPI makes one.. Or maybe Zoya?
Love this design! Very cute!
This is such a lovely mani!! I’m so jealous, there’s not even the slightest chance that I could get my nails to look this good freehand!
Illamsqua “Load” is a good one, despite its gross name and expensive price tag
Thanks for the tip! I’ll have a look at it!
