Nail #6: The Purple Tango using LacQit One Step Gel Polish

From the title, it sounds like a blog post about a new dance, but instead it is a polish escapade using the LacQit One Step Gel Spring 2013 collection.  I decided to test out an unlikely combination; Tangerine Tango and Pop on this Purple.  Check it out in my latest video: 


I started out with 2 coats of the Tangerine Tango as my first color and cured each coat using my LED lamp.  Next, I used nail tape to create an X shape near the upper portion of my nails. 


I used more nail tape to create another X above the first one, making sure to leave a small space between the first X and second X.  This will look similar to railroad tracks crossing over each other.  Once the tape was in place, firmly press down to avoid any bleeding of the polish underneath the tape.



Next I used the Pop on this Purple color to paint above the first X all the way to the tip of my nail.  Cure the 2nd color and apply another coat to enhance the sparkling effects.



Once the polish was cured, I removed the tape from each nail.


SHAZAM....The Purple Tango!
