So I realise that when I am stressed, the thing that I always like to do is to paint my nails. Whether it is changing the colour, or adding an additional layer of top coat, I will always find something to do with/on my nails. Last night was no exception. I had already had a single colour on my nails – OPI’s “Second Honeymoon”. It’s a really light, sweet pink colour.
I was halfway through finishing my essay when I decided to do something to my nails. I only had OPI’s “Second Honeymoon”, China Glaze’s “For Audrey” and “Broken Hearted” in my room in school. So I had limited choices, I could either change my nail colour, or create a shattered look for my nails. Or I could do this:

So I haven’t sported dual-coloured nails for a while. But I’ve always though that these two colours would go really well together. The first time I got the “For Audrey” from Grace at beautysofly.blogspot.com, I was thinking of using these two colours for a cute modern french manicure. But I still need to perfect my manicure skills. For now, I’ll make-do with this. :)
I used OPI’s “Second Honeymoon” as a base and China Glaze’s “For Audrey” for the diagonal strip across.

Here’s how I got the look:
1) I first applied 3 coats of “Second Honeymoon”, but you can apply as many as you like to get the colour you like.
2) Half a brush of “For Audrey” for the diagonal stripe. You could apply it towards whichever direction you’ll like and mirror the directions for your right or left hand, or keep the diagonal directions the same.
3) Top coat and VOILA! :)
Very very simple! Makes me happy :D
