Here is my attempt at the 'window' mani. i taped off squares on my nails then used Sally Hansen CSM Pat on the Black as my base color. For the border, I used a dotting tool and Sally Hansen Silver Sweep to outline the window.

Sally Hansen Pat on the Black Window
The 'window' mani is supposedly a hot, new trend in the nail world. It consists of leaving a clear square or rectangle shape on your nail like a window (duh). I'm not sure I like this trend and this manicure was harder than I anticipated it being. I had difficulty trimming and placing the squares of tape. I doubt I will wear this style again.

wow! That looks so unique. :)
ReplyDeleteso much work AND SUCH GREAT RESULTS! Thanks for "enlightening" me! nEW STUFF ALL THE TIME, i love NAILPOLISH!
ReplyDeleteIt looks like you put a lot of work into this design. I agree about not liking the trend so much, but at least you can say you did it & didn't like it!
ReplyDeleteI'm not sure how I feel about this. I think you did a great job with the technique, but for some reason this is just an odd look to me. But thanks for sharing; I didn't know that this was trending in the nail world!
ReplyDeleteThis is strange but kinda cool! It reminds me of a leprechaun's belt/hat buckle (like this: http://familyfun.go.com/assets/cms/crafts/leprechaun-hat-pit-main-photo-180-FF0309LEPR.A03.jpg) this technique could be used in a design around St Patrick's day on an accent nail possibly. Thanks for sharing :)
ReplyDeleteThat is why I wear nail polish: to cover my nails, lol. You did a great job but I don't think I would wear this mani... I would feel like my nails were naked.
ReplyDeleteYeah, I'm not into it. Some of the trends these days are just CRAZY! You did a great job though!
ReplyDeleteHad no idea it had a name! I really like this! I need to try it!
ReplyDeleteI really like the window trend; yours looks great. I think I may have to put it on my "do this soon" list.
ReplyDeleteOk, this is my opinion: that's just weird. Maybe I still have to try it, just to be sure, but still... Not my cup of tea..
ReplyDeletehhhmmmm... I can't decide what I think about it either... love your nails though - if anybody can pull this off, you can!
ReplyDeleteIt is definitely interesting.. Not sure I'm 100% sold on it, though. I think this is the first manicure I've seen in this fashion
ReplyDeleteI am a twitter follower who was asking you about the window mani, then you so kindly linked an example for me! Thanks for that, btw :)
ReplyDeleteSo how did you work out the tape for this one? Your nails are lovely! Jury's still out on the window mani for me.
I think it is interesting!
