Color Block Spring Nails

I love colour block nails - they're easy to do, not very time consuming and they look great- the perfect look for the modern woman, with oh-so-much-to-do-but-I-still-want-to-look-fabulous :)

So, that's what I have to show you today:


Color Block Spring Nails


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.



CF Beauty Cosmetics Velvet Top Coat

 I applied a matte top coat, because I was feeling the whole velvet finish and I love how it turned out.

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!

  3. Great design! Do the stripping tapes stay in place without top coat? I like tapes but they don't wear nicely :-(
    Love your blog! Hugs from argentina!

  9. I 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!
