Hello! I was contacted on IG by a follower asking to participate in a mani swap. Since I love swaps, how could I say no! I've been waiting to post these, but my impatience is getting the best of me. I'll update with her part of the swap when she sends it! (updated!)
Solo shot of my mani swap |
I scanned through her manis and saw so many I was interested in recreating. Finally picked one and this is what I ended up with!

According to her comments on her feed, it sounds like she's pretty busy with making videos about her manis and has a few other swaps lined up with other people, so here I patiently (not-so-patiently, lol) wait for Lola's recreation.
OPI Nail Envy, OPI My Vampire is Buff, Essie Licorice, Sinful Colors Love Nails, Essie Aruba Blue, Seche Vite |
I used OPI Nail Envy for my base coat (2 coats), then one coat of OPI My Vampire is Buff on all my nails. I freehanded the stripes and used my dotting tool for my dots using Essie Licorice.
Sinful Colors Love Nails |
Then I freehand painted the blues using Sinful Colors Love Nails (found an untried surprise here!) and Essie Aruba Blue.

I also found I need a good medium blue in my collection! All nails are topped in a coat of Seche Vite.

Lola sent me her recreation, so here is the collage of the full mani swap!
