Eco Warrior Mani

I love green and I love stripes (vertical, horizontal, diagonal, you name it) so I tend to do quite a few of these although my last one was quite a while ago which you can see here. I added the little fimo leaf to this one for good measure!

I called this mani Eco Warrior because I could only imagine a warrior princess in a green full body leotard, with a sparkly green cape and her nails done like this, lol! Then again, considering that only 1 of the polishes I used - Nubar Earth - says it is Formaldehyde, Phthalate and Toluene free, this mani would probably suit Poison Ivy better.

Polishes used: tips - Nubar Earth (which you can see swatched on its own here), middle - Make Up Academy Shade 13, near cuticle - Miss Sporty Green Lemon

    How do you manage with the scotch tape? Mine always sticks up some of the polish while removing and end up spoiling the manicure..

    @ Meowmee - try sticking the tape on the back of your hand before sticking on the nail. This will take some of the strength of the glue off and won't lift your polish!

    Great design. I "recreated" it - well, much sloppier than you, but I think one can get the idea. (I'm not trying to promote my blog, it's in german, but I thought you could be interested in the pictures, so I'll post the link: http://egokonsumkosmos.wordpress.com/2011/10/28/nagellack-streifenlook-mit-anleitung/) As I said, not nearly as neat as you did this, but I'm practicing. :)
    I love nearly all of your designs, I'm full of admiration for your creativity and precision!
