Colorful Candy Canes *Pic spam*

I absolutely can not stand peppermint.  I only have the standard red & white candy canes on my tree because the kiddo loves them so much.  Me, I prefer the flavored ones.  So, when I was thinking of doing a candy cane mani this year....I just looked at my tree. 

I can't remember what flavors they are, or what brand they are......but I picked them up at BJ's in a huge pack.  I just had to do something different than the norm.

And this was the result....



First up, we have a blue candy cane.  I started out with 3 coats of Sally Hansen Barracuda then drew stripes on with a striping brush and used Revlon Royal & Zoya Katherine.













For the Green candy cane, I started off with 2 coats of China Glaze Def Defying, then used my striping brush to apply Red Satin and Escaping Reality.











I really liked both of these & may actually recreate them for Christmas Day in skittle form.  Just because I'm different like that.  Which is your favorite?

Oh, and before I forget....here's my failed first attempt at doing the green one.  I was having problems with striping tape, so I used a dotting tool and a small flat brush.  Yeah, it looked absolutely horrible.

  2. What a great idea - I'm not huge on peppermint and I do love a modern rendition on a classic idea.
