The Halloween Stripe

I know it's been a while since I've updated this. It's also been a while since I've done my nails! YIKES! You caught me!! It's that time of the year though - when there's some sort of holiday party, baby shower, wedding, birthday or anniversary creeping up behind you - as well as that holiday weight.

This design started out as being a zebra stripe but it quickly turned into just black and white stripes with creepy spikes at the tips.

SO - until I can finally figure out how to correctly do zebra stripes - I will leave you with this design!

So how I did it:

I first painted my nails with a no chip clear coat followed by black (the same black I use in all my designs). Make sure you wait for it to be completely dry and smooth before going to the next step.

I then used the stripe right nail polish in white to do the stripes. You can buy this at a Sally's Beauty store. I did the stripes randomly, so there's no real order in doing them. One problem I kept running into was not making the white thick enough so you can sort of see through it.
