I made this design for the competition that Sophie from My Awesome Beasuy is having at her blog. I bet most of you already know her fabulous blog, and you probably noticed that she really loves making designs with striping tape. So the challenge for this competition was to create a design using a tape method and 3 colors.
This is only my second design I've made with striping tape, and I gotta say it's a fun but very time consuming method (well I guess it doesn't have to be, if you use less tape than I did lol) but the result is fabulous!
For this design I've started with a white base, two coats of Wet n Wild White Creme. After it dried completely I used a thin striping tape to create a diamond shaped net. I filled the blank diamonds with my chosen colors which were Kiko 278 (Violet Orchid Microglitter), Wet n Wild A Show At The Palladium (gold) and Color Club Beyond (black holo). After filling the spots I removed the tape and let it dry completely, and applied once coat of Poshe.
I really love how this design turned out, I think that the colors are working well together and it came out even prettier than I imagined, so I'm very satisfied with it.
Be sure to check Sophie's blog to see the beautiful designs that entered this competition, and if you liked my design I would appreciate if you show your support at Sophie's blog :)

Finally I took the time (or shall I say the day?) to take pictures of my whole collection and share it with you ladies. I can't believe I've manages to get all of this within only half a year. That's just crazy lol! I had so much fun collection these polishes, and I had some lovely polish buddies that were kind enough to help me and send me polishes from all around the globe.
Within this time I've collected many of my most desired polishes, and just when I think I have them all, there's always something new pupping out and I add it to my wish list.
I guess I will continue adding new stuff to my stash along the way (I already have about 20 new polishes that are on their way to me...) but it will not be as crazy as it was so far.
I hope you will enjoy my collection, and if you have any requests for swatches please let me know and I'll do my best to share them with you.
So here's my colorful collection :)
