Back to Basics.... So this might not exactly be basic to some of you, but it was one of my very first 'edgy' manis I did, lol. I never used to wear dark colors. I actually think this mani is what helped me fall in love with the matte polishes. Now, I know this is posted in my 'Playing Catch Up' post, back when I started this blog, but I decided to re-do it.

Step one. Now grab your ball. It should come apart easily as the ball itself is produced by ravelling a strip like a snail shell. Split your strip down the middle vertically into 2 strips. You can continue to split but I like mine with a little bulk. Keep tearing until you have a lot. Now you have the cotton pieces ready. Nice and smelly. Press the wet CP onto your nail gently.

Not long ago I was looking through floor patterns for a home project. My favorite pattern in the world is called the “herringbone pattern”. While I’m speaking to this flooring guy, all I could think about is making this pattern into a manicure. As he started demonstrating the way it gets laid down, I only saw colorfully painted nail strips. Sorry dude. NOTE: Before you start, use one of your polish colors as a base for your nails about an hour before (or the night before) so they have plenty of time to dry before you apply the nail strips!
