Salon Perfect - Olive turned into a tape mani

SOURCE: Salon Perfect - Olive: Walmart,
Fingerpaints - Cordur-Orange and Catwalk Queen: Sally Beauty Supply
COMMENTS: As much as I liked this color, it was a bit dark on me, so needed some extra color. I knew I wanted the orange, but the idea for the dots came after I had put on the orange. The additions really brightened it up!


And because some of you asked for a tutorial on my last taped chevron mani, I took some extra photos. Scotch tape below:

Taped off the section:

Painted on the orange:


After removing the tape - not very pretty, but topcoat will smooth it all out:

All taped up and done:

Added two dots, one inside the other. For some reason I couldn't find my dotting tools, so I just used a toothpick - one of those with a rounded side and just one pointy tip. I used the rounded side for the larger dot and the tip for the smaller one.:

And finally, a nice thick coat of topcoat:

    Reminds me of an olive stuffed with pimentos. I like it!
