This was inspired by JauntyJuli from her video tutorial, Double Chevron Moon Mani. Using tape has been something I've been getting into a lot and a nail art technique that I adore. JauntyJuli is also one of my favorite Youtubers that I look for nail inspiration. So, I decided to recreate this design for February's theme of "adoration" for The Lacquer Legion. #LLadoration
I started with Sally Hansen Celeb City and then applied China Glaze Ray-diant on top. With striping tape, I created this double chevron moon manicure design. Taking Orly Ancient Jade, I painted it on the sections I taped off on the bottom. Waiting a bit, I then peeled off the tape to reveal this design. Finished with Sally Hansen Insta-Dri Top Coat.
Orly Ancient Jade is one of my all time favorite colors in my collection and paired with this glitter, it looks so pretty. I definitely plan to do another version of this design with different color combinations. What do you think of this double chevron moon manicure?

ReplyDeleteThanks Cait! I'm sure yours would turn out great too :)
DeleteGorgeous combination - the glitter is really fab and the green makes it more day time appropriate. Design is so neat - maybe you could do a photo tutorial some time :D
