Hey there!

This week I really wanted to do something with black and gold and I remembered a manicure I saw on Pinterest. For this look you will need two colors of nail polish and striping tape.

I started off with a base coat of OPI Nail Envy. I then did two coats of Orly Luxe.  Once that was completely dry, I used two pieces of striping tape, both starting at the top right corner of the nail and going down the nail diagonally in a V shape. I then painted above and below the tape, with Orly Liquid Vinyl, so it left the middle section gold. I then carefully removed the tape. Once everything was completely dry, I finished my manicure with a fast drying top coat of INM Out the Door.

Finished!

This manicure is bold and eye catching, really fun. It was a little hard to paint the section closest to the cuticle. You just have to be patient and not use too much polish at once. This Orly gold polish was really great to use as a base for striping tape, it dried fast and stayed put. Overall, this was pretty simple to do and it looks cool. I hope you enjoyed this look and I will see you next time!
