Recycled Mani: Etnies x 4 in the Morning

I was really disappointed with the wear time of the black, Avon Rapid Black. I had chips on my thumbs within 24 hours on a day that I didn't go to work or do any housework... just came off in the shower... not impressed! :( shame because the formula was great, loved the skinny square brush, and it's super glossy! Anyway I didn't have time to do a new mani... I was going to just screw it and go around with chipped nails the next day but then I woke up in the middle of the night and couldn't sleep so I figured I would try to fix this mani! These nails were literally done at 4 in the morning! Which is also probably my favorite Gwen Stefani song ever...

Anyway so in case you missed it this was the original mani:

I decided to try a tape mani and I was going through colors that would match the blue in my head... I thought of hot pink... and then when I thought of hot pink with black I thought of Gwen Stefani's nails in this promo pic for her new OPI collection

So I decided to try to recreate this look on my middle, index, and thumb nails. I switched up the squares for variety and also according to where the chips were lol. The pink I used is Color Club Overboard. I haven't done many tape manis so this didn't turn out great... This probably would work way better if I did the black over the pink... Since I tried putting the pink over the black it didn't cover well... I did 2 coats and wanted to do more... But I already had some major lumpiness... 3 thin coats might have worked better but I didn't want the polish to dry before I took off the tape or I would get wobbly lines when I removed the tape... which happened also... at least on my index.

I guess for a mani done in the middle of the night this isn't too bad but I'm not completely happy with it. What do you think of this mani? What do you think of the mash-up between two manis going on here?

Oh and btw here's 4 in the Morning if you don't know the song :) YouTube wouldn't let me embed the real Vevo one... so here's the real Vevo one with Spanish subtitles added hehe
