So, that's what I have to show you today:
And if I may say so myself, after yesterday's mani fail, these look pretty awesome.
Love the colours, the execution, the whole thing - how very modest of me, I know :)
I applied three different colours over a white base, using Kiko 340 Light Blue, Kiko 330 Lilac and Kiko 297 Acid Green, and freehanded the colour block pattern.
I applied a matte top coat, because I was feeling the whole velvet finish and I love how it turned out.
I used CF Beauty Cosmetics Velvet Top Coat.
To finish it all and disguise some not so straight lines, I applied some striping tape in metallic pink.
This is actually a great tip - you can easily freehand a colour block pattern of your liking and then use striping tape to mask imperfect lines :)

So, in a scale of 'meh' to 'awesome', how do you rate these? ;)
And also let me know if you love colour block designs on your nails - I just think they're so eye-catching!

I definitely rate them awesome! ;) I think adding a matte top coat was a super good choice, those colours look lovely matteified! I love colour blocking, it's one of my favourite techniques :)
ReplyDeleteThe color blocking looks great!
ReplyDeleteGreat design! Do the stripping tapes stay in place without top coat? I like tapes but they don't wear nicely :-(
ReplyDeleteLove your blog! Hugs from argentina!
I totally love these! The colours are so pretty together. You are making me lust after Kiko polishes!
ReplyDeleteWow...Awesome piece of work here to get this stunning look!
ReplyDeleteWell of course awesome! :) I really like the matte finish and the colours you chose, very Spring-y!
ReplyDeleteThe matte finish is amazing!
ReplyDeleteAmazing ! I'd rate these "awesome" as you may guess :D I love this color-block mani !
ReplyDeleteI've never tried colour clock designs yet, but this looks sooo inspiring and your description sounds rather manageable !! I totally adore this colour combo :D I wish I had the cute pink metallic tape <3
ReplyDeleteI felt like my eyes were deceiving me for a second with the matte finish but I LOVE it. I tend to use matte topcoats on nudey bases and I absolutely love that you've done it with neons, I'm going to have to switch things up a bit!
