It’s day 20 of the nail art challenge for April and the theme is border manicure! When I think about border manis I think, “what two colors work well together?”… and most times I think out loud. So my man suggested purple and yellow. Well, I have a two-pack of Nicole by OPI polishes with those exact two colors! How perfect is that?
I can think of a lot of young girls that would love this manicure. WHY? Because these Nicole by OPI shades are inspired by Justin Bieber! I’m a Belieber is a nice basic purple cream (Bieber’s favorite color is purple) and the yellow is called My Favorite Gold. I’ve swatched My Favorite Gold before- here’s the post. It’s a beautiful and bright gold color, but it needs a lot of coats (and preferably some undies too)!! Next time I try a border mani I will use more opaque colors. I’m a little embarrassed to say how many coats I’m wearing here! Even still, I love the final result and how the purple really stands out against the gold. I think Justin Bieber would be proud! 😀

Oh no, I’m gonna have to change favourite colour now 😉
Ha! You dont like beiber? Come onnnn Brijit!
Pffft. No comment 😉
love how it just stands out
Thanks!!! Too bad it took for coats of gold to make it stand out! Lol
oops FOUR…. but you know what I meant!
Pretty! I think this is the first time I’ve seen a border mani and not thought it looked weird.
Awesome thanks!
Your meme is so cute! She looks so happy about buying all the nail polishes!!!
Thank you! That’s how I feel inside whenever I’m standing in the cosmetics aisle XD
Wow! how did you get the border so perfect?
I did the yellow first. Then I painted the purple on top of it… but pretended my nails were smaller, so I made sure the purple paint didn’t reach the top or sides of my nail. Then I went over my tips with more of my yellow color. I found that it was pretty easy that way and it made clean lines. Thanks for checkin it out!
I have never seen a nail design like that before.YOu must have a very steady hand to do that, wow !! I love it and the colors are great, how awesome you had a set of those colors already !! I am really enjoying seeing you do this challenge, and enjoying seeing all the things that can be done witih nails, amazing !!
Thnx Stephie! This challenge is making try new things everyday – and I’m surprising myself!
