V-Gaps With A Twist (& Tutorial)

If you read the end of my last post, you'll know that I had a lot of polishes arrive at my house during my absence.  The most-anticipated was without question my first order from Llarowe.  I won a $50 gift certificate in a giveaway (you have no idea how much squealing occurred when I found out) so I placed an order for a couple of polishes to cross off my lemming list!  

Among these polishes were my first Picture Polishes, Violet Femme and Tiffany.  I couldn't wait long enough to try them both out separately, and luckily they look stunning together!  I have been wanting to try v-gaps for a while, but then I had the idea to leave a 'tip', if you will, in the base colour as well as the v-gap!  


 The base colour is two coats of Picture Polish Tiffany, and the purple is Picture Polish Violet Femme.  It's all topped with two coats of Seche Vite.

After the pictures I've made a little tutorial if any of you are curious and would like to re-create this look! 



Time for a tutorial!  I'd like to make it known that I'm in no way claiming that I'm the first to do this, (because somebody else probably has,) but I did pull this idea from my own brain! 


I think the pictures are pretty self-explanatory, but if you have any questions just leave a comment!  I forgot to take pictures for top-coating and clean-up, so just pretend it's there. ;)
