Xtreme Color Blocking

Happy Almost Friday! I am excited for a beautiful weekend! I was going through my stash recently, trying to organize it (didn't happen, it's more of a mess now than it was), and I found these cutey patooties. I HAD to use them. Every single one of them! I've been on a color blocking kick lately and all these colors look perfect together!


I used (From the top): Sally Hansen Xtreme Wear in: Blue Me Away, SunKissed, Green with Envy and here I might be wrong...I think it is Hot Magenta (maybe Fuchsia Power?). Anyway mini's always come unnamed. Why?!


I painted all my fingers one color to start. I used each color once and then decided to go with the orange on my thumb again.
These colors are so vibrant and bright and I was such a happy camper just looking at these!


After the base color dried, I used tape to section off my pointer and ring fingers to start creating the blocks! I had to wait for each block to dry before I could start on the next, which made this more time consuming than I anticipated.
Check out my tutorial on color blocking with tape HERE.



I sealed it all in with one coat of NYC. 

What do you think of Color blocking manis?

Thanks for reading!

  1. Love it, the colors complement each other and I can only imagine that this was a lot of work, tape mani can be time consuming but the result is always worth it.
