Twinsie Tuesday - Color Block Mani

Good Morning! It's Twinsie Tuesday already. This is the third week in a row where nail art has been involved. Are you tired of hearing me complain yet? lol. Anyways, today's theme was a color block mani.

My color block mani was a bomb. I liked my idea but the execution was less than superb. This looks like I did it freehand.....and I used tape. The smudges, the lines, everything is just awful.  The tape lifted the base colors on my ring finger, as you can see. The colors I used were Essie Cascade Cool, Essie No More Film, Essie Who's The Boss, Essie Very Cranberry and Bettina Mojito.

    I'd laugh at the "freehand but tape" comment except for the fact that that's typically me. Aren't you just relieved the nail art torture is over??

    I love the right angles on your index and pinkie fingers and how each nail is so different.
