NOTD: BACK TO THE 80s PINK/YELLOW LAZER STRIPE

I love this manicure on so many levels.  I love the colors both individually and together.  I love that it feels fun and 80s - which was totally unintended but lovingly embraced.  And I love the simplicity of the simple angular stripe.

To create this manicure I first used OPI's Wing It.  Then used painters tape to mask off the yellow area.  First I used Color Club's Almost Famous.  Then after doing one hand I topped that off with Sally Hansen HD Lite to give the yellow it's shimmery finish.
Love this manicure so much!
Oh what the heck.  I filmed a quick how-to on this.  why don't I post it.  I'm not going to post it on my Youtube channel though b/c it's so basic.  But since I filmed it (no editing though) I may as well as show it to you.  :)
If you are interested in seeing the taping process, watch and learn.  lol...  j/k
Dang Blogger.  Doesn't like to upload my videos.  oh well.  it was just a simple taping tutorial.  nothing special.  I've got lots of video tutorials that use taping on my Youtube channel if you're curious.  (you will have to search way back though.)
