Hi lovelies,
How is it even Friday already? This week has just flown. Do you have any fun plans? It’s our wedding anniversary this weekend so we will be taking it easy.
The other day on twitter Jane asked me when I am going to do some negative space nail art. I have been wanting to for the longest time but I am not going to lie, I’ve been afraid. It was however, the proverbial kick under the butt I needed. So today, here is some negative space stripes 😉
I started by placing 3 strips of striping tape horizontally on my pinky, index and thumb and 3 strips of striping tape vertically on my ring and middle fingers. I then used Sinful Colors – Black on black over my pinky, index and thumb and removed the tape immediately afterwards. In my middle and ring fingers I used Sinful Colors – Black on black on the sides and filled in the middle with Sinful Colors – Endless blue pulling the tape off immediately. Topcoat and done.
I am not sure if this works but I like it enough. Let me show you the colours I used.
Sinful Colors – Black on black
This is 2 coats with no topcoat. This is by far my favourite black that I have used so far. Granted I haven’t used many but why fix what isn’t broken right? It is opaque and great formula.
Sinful Colors – Endless blue
This is 2 coats with no topcoat. Great formula and great opacity. I love this blue so much. It is so great for summer but also works well in winter for a pop of colour. Love!
What do you think of the negative space? Do you approve Jane? Have a lovely weekend!
Thanks for reading,
Love it. Your nails look so healthy underneath!

Oh my gosh! Mich it looks so nice!! And that blue #stunning

Haha, I like how we both kicked our negative space virginity in the butt around the same time : P
I love your mani, brilliant colours! As you saw, I went for something different, but still – did you find striping tape as INFURIATING as I did?

You are braver than me! These are cool!
Hahaha Thanks. Brave isn’t a word I would use to describe myself much 😉
Happy (late) Anniversary!
I am afraid of negative space designs, too, yet I always think they look cool, so…what is my problem? Haha.
Thanks so much! xx
I know right? It’s so bizarre. I know I was afraid of exposing my naked nails but I think it looks ok.
