I was already wearing Barry M Red Wine when I was mixing up my frankenpolishes, and when I came up with such a lovely yellow gold, I knew it was a match made in heaven.
I really couldn't wait to try out my eyeshadow-mixed polishes, so I gave myself french tips with sellotape (Scotch tape, for the yanks ;).
It was my first time doing french tips with tape, and it turned out all right. Surprisingly well, anyway - there were a few smudges and they're not totally even, but most of them are okay and from a distance, it looks fabulous. Only the macro on the camera is betraying my smudges.
If you're doing french tips or nail art with tape, just remember one VERY IMPORTANT thing - make sure the tape isn't too sticky! I stuck the tape over my palm a few times before sticking it on my nail, so it doesn't get too sticky and take your polish off.
Red Wine is an absolutely fabulous Barry M color, by the way - BM Nail Paints have names and numbers, and Red Wine is np1, for a reason - it's a really nice basic red, bright but on the darkish side, and it looks quite flattering on me.
