Hey dolls! I told you all in my geometric stamping post that I failed at several other nail art attempts. Below you will see the only fail that I took pictures of. I started with two coats of Barielle Blossom. The formula was somewhat thick and didn’t self-level well at all. I used three coats of Essie Turquoise and Caicos. I can’t believe I’ve had this polish for over a year without wearing it! The formula on Turquoise and Caicos was sheerer than I thought it would be, but it wasn’t problematic at all.

Using Nailside’s tutorial, I wanted to do a V-gap/chevron look. This is what would be described as a Monet;  looks good from far away, but it’s a total mess up close (two points for all my Clueless fans)!

Total fail. The lines were not clean at all. My gap also appears to be too small. I think my long nail beds made the space between the tape look deceptive. I even went to the store specifically to buy stationery tape because I tried cutting different designs with my craft scissors. I added Barielle Stardust to try and make the look cohesive, but overall, I’m just not a fan of this one. The only good thing about this look is that the colors are fab together. Oh well, we can’t win them all, nor do I try to.
