1st of March nails

Hi,
First of all, let me say that I wish you all a happy spring, full of happiness and love! Here in Romania, we wear trinkets with red and white yarns in the honour of the 1st of March. It's our way to celebrate spring's arrival, therefore today's manicure will be a themed one. 
Considering the occasion, I decided to go for a saran wrap nail art, as it was the best way to beautifully mix red and withe together. I started with a coat of Avon - Iceberg white on all nails. On my middle and ring fingers, I firstly applied some scotch tape on the edges and then did the saran wrap. The technique is simple: you just pour randomly some drops of white and red polish and them, using transparent wrap, you mix everything until you achieve the wanted effect. The red polish I used is Rimmel - 318 Stand to attention. I finished with clear top coat on all nails and applied some square silver studs from Born Pretty store on the accent nails. 
What do you think?

Matte flakies

Hi,
Today I'll show you another easy to do tape manicure. I started with two coats of Illamasqua - Taint on all nails and after it completely dried, I placed some scotch tape so as to create the V at the base of each nail. I applied Sweet Color flakies nail polish from Born Pretty store - you can find it here on their website; it's shade #4. Also check out this old post of mine to see more beautiful swatches of it. Finally, I removed the tape while the polish was still wet and finished with Flormar's Matifying top coat. What do you think?
