For this one I used three Barry M gelly polishes - Chilli, Pomegranate & Rhossili.
I started with two coats of Pomegranate. Then when it was fully dry, I taped off triangles and filled them in with Chilli. Once this was dry I used a dotting tool to add one dot on each nail using Rhosilli.
The overall effect was quite neutral - the colours were all so similar that from a distance they blended in, but up close the pattern was visible. Next time I try this I think I'll use more contrasting colours, because I do like the simplicity of the pattern!
These are so pretty and such lovely colours! What tape do you use? i have some but it peels the first layer off even when its fully dry xx

I actually used straight nail vinyls for this which are kind of like pre-cut pieces of tape, but more sturdy. I got them here: http://www.she-sells-seashells.co.uk/ I find striping tape too fiddly and flimsy to cut and position!
DeleteI usually let my base coat dry fully - sometimes for a day (I wore the base shade on it's own the day before I did the design over the top) which usually helps a lot! Xx
