#31DC2013 Day 9 – Rainbow Nails

Aaaannd as of this manicure, I am now officially caught up with everyone! I couldn’t be more excited, because honestly doing 4 manicures today was kind of a torture, but I’m glad I made it 🙂

At first I painted my nails with Color Club Mod in Manhattan, then on a piece of paper I lined up a drop of each from top to bottom: red – Julep Jackie, orange – SpaRitual Hijinks, yellow – Color Club Almost Famous, green – Sephora Collection Picnic in the Park, light blue – essie Bikini so Teeny, blue – Color Club Insta-this, purple – Lakur Purple Reign. After the colors were lined up, I took a sponge and pressed it firmly against the pattern then lightly patted it on my nails without trying to make it look too neat, because tomorrow we have a gradient day, so I didn’t want the manis to overlap. After the rainbow layer dried, I applied striping tape in various shapes and painted another layer of Color Club Mod in Manhattan on top. I feel like it toned down this mani a lot, making it more wearable and not super tacky.

Coming up tomorrow – gradient nails!
