We kept laughing and looking at these to try to figure out what they reminded us of...It was definitely something in the 80's...   using a strips of stripping was crazy..... so I had to give in and use my stripping brush to help-  the base is multiple bright colors and we used the old fashioned striping tape in diagonal shapes and painted over them with black...        We used Orly's-  liquid vinyl and many other combinations to create the base underneath.

They are really a blast from the past for me......

Thanks Stacey for the laughter- it keeps me going....

 

Summer time Blues...

this has been a year of CHANGE for me...  no doubt for some of you as well...   Every once in a while you get the Blues...  so this Lady is singing thru her nail art....  perhaps its 1 sure way to cheer yourself up....

so here they are:   using 2 distinct shades of Blue OPI and some Sally Hansen Fuzzy Coat- Wool Knot and a bit of stripping to bring out the contrast in colors. 

thanks Doug for the emotional inspiration....
