I’ve been wanting to do a manicure that was matte, but not just all matte. I saw a picture on pinterest where the nails were painted all matte grey, and I really liked the look of that. But since I’ve been ill for a week and going on, I haven’t done much with my nails, leaving them bare or with just a simple, light color.Ā 
It’s funny how my left hand is much more used to posing than my right hand lol.
Materials:
Essie – Help me grow (base coat)
Essie – the perfect cover up (grey)
Seche Vite (top coat)
OPI – matte top coat
Striping tape

These are fab! Just out of interest, how long do you wait between painting your nail and then putting the striping tape on them? I never seem to get it right.

I put top coat on in between and then wait for that to dry š that dries much faster and if you accidentally pull off some color it will just be the clear top coat š

Cool design š Now i have to buy a mate colour nail polish xD But i have a question, do you use regular tape and cut it the way you like it or do you have a special method for it? š

This is OPI’s matte top coat – then you can make any polish matte and don’t have to buy seperate polishes š
It is called striping tape -I bought this bunch: http://www.amazon.co.uk/gp/product/B00DX4IL42?psc=1&redirect=true&ref_=oh_aui_detailpage_o03_s00 (omkring 40-50 kr inklusiv fragt)
