Lazy Days of Summer- Flip Flops

I have another LDoS post for you today! The theme for this mani was flip flops! I was jealous of the ladies who had flip flop stamping plates! I had to get a bit more creative with my design. I actually suck at stamping so it was probably for the best. I used the perfect base polish, China Glaze- Flip Flop Fantasy. It's a super neon pink! So neon my camera flipped out! Sorry ahead of time for the non color accurate photos! It's more of a true highlighter pink then my camera shows.

Flip Flop Fantasy was a hot streaky mess. I lost count at how many coats I did. I think it was around five. Thankfully it did smooth its' self out! Only two nail supplies were needed, striping tape and gems. For this particular mani I used silver for both. All you have to do is use two small pieces of striping tape to make a arrow pointing towards your cuticles. Leave a bit of nail between the tip of the point and your cuticle so you have room for the gem. Add the gem to the point and your done! Tada, you have flip flop nails! At least I think it looks pretty reminiscent of flip flops! I think they are adorable!
