Candy Cane or Striped Tube Socks?

Konad Nail Art, OPI 14 comments

OPI Alpine Snow & Konad M64
This didn't turn out quite how I planned... it's still cute though, in my opinion. I was inspired by candy canes with the red and green stripes. However, [haha] it looks more like a set of tube socks! There is just too many stripes!! It is more candy cane-like without the green.

The white used is OPI's Alpine Snow (2 coats). Then I stamped M64 in red Special Polish. Ugh! My stamping was totally off today. I couldn't get the image on the plate to stick to my stamp! I had to redo the process (polishing plate, scraping, stamping) so many times!
Then I used a green glitter Stripe Rite polish to make the green stripes.
Maybe I should have used red as my base color... Hope you like it. I'm a little disappointed :(

    Having done really disappointing manis, this one is quite likable to my eyes! It's crisp and clear, and lovely =)

    That is beautiful! I need to use that stamp more often. I didn't even think of it being tube socks.

    I don't think this looks like tube socks at all. I think this is a beautiful Christmas manicure. Reminds me of candy canes. Really amazing. I love it.
