Gold & Black Striped Nails....got to have them - now come and get them!






The Bobcat Stripe!

I'm dedicating these nails to Buchholz High School, where I graduated in 2006 from.




I started off with using just the Sephora by OPI "Rumba Romance" gold color, then decided it looked too cheesy - and added the Sephora by OPI "What's a Tire Jack?"





Supplies:


  • Sephora by OPI "Rumba Romance" and "What's a Tire Jack?" (or gold and black equivalents)

  • A very small paint brush - particularly one you don't mind possibly destroying

  • A disposable cup

  • Nail polish remover (my favorite is Cutex)

  • A paper towel just in case and for a place to rest your brush



Here are the steps:

1. Paint all your nails the Rumba Romance color and let them dry.

2. While the polish is drying, pour a small amount of polish remover into your disposable cup so that you can set your brush in it between uses. (This is important so that the polish doesn't stick to your brush as much)

3. When the polish is dry, get your paint brush and dip it into the "What's a Tire Jack" color, making sure you have enough paint on the brush, and then go diagonally across your nail. (Don't worry about getting it on your skin because this is easily taken off)

4. Let the stripes dry.

5. Go back and put a little polish remover on the paper towel and get the rest of the paint off of your skin



I decided everytime I do something different I'll post pictures and how-to's on this blog, so keep checking for updates =)
