Without a doubt my new favourite manicure. I can see this one getting recreated lots, maybe with different colours but definitely again with these exact shades. Unfortunately I didn’t snap any pictures whilst doing it but I can explain how to do it easily enough in the captions. I hope you guys love it as much as I do. Also please, please, please comment on this as I’ve tried out some new bottle and swatch positions and would love to know which ones you prefer!

I sponged a gradient over the top of the striping tape made up of Barry M – Vanilla, Mocha and Cocoa and OPI – A-Taupe the Space Needle

Finally I used my newest MoYou stamping plate and some more Barry M – Gold Foil to apply the palm frond pattern to my ring fingers
If you want to see the stamping plate used check out my review of the July nailbox. And please do comment on my new poses! I quite like the last nail only shot where it’s a bit more of a curve and I get my thumb in, my poor thumb gets neglected in a lot of my photos. The bottle shots I’m not really sure which I prefer. The classic one is still always good but I’m quite liking the one with Barry M – Mocha resting on my thumb. I can’t decide if it takes me too far away from the nails though. The OPI bottle shot I do love but don’t think it will work for most bottles.
Love the poses – my faves are the ones holding the bottles!! Fave is the one where you are holding Vanilla (I think)
