Color-blocking

This mani is inspired by a lovely color-blocked piece from La Lune & Moon. Now I know this may seem a bit out of my element since I'm usually into the loud and obnoxious, but something about this line caught my eye. Simplicity can be strangely alluring.

Anyway, for this look, I first started off with Essie Real Simple. Then I used good old Scotch tape to cover approximately one third of my nails, and painted the rest with Orly Cotton Candy. Pretty simple, right?









P.S. I'm now on Tumblr! You can find it here :D
