40 Great Nail Art Ideas - Pink and Lilac Tape Mani

OK, so pink and lilac is cool - when I saw tape mani my heart fell :( I really struggle with striping tape but there was no way I could twist this one and stamp instead. So I just worried about it for about a  month or so and then I saw something by lovely @kynsitic that inspired me so much I decided I'd give it a go. (pic included)
I was concerned I wouldn't get sufficient contrast if I used lilac glitter and pale pink polish so I used one of my darkest most vibrant pinks, Jacava Blackberry Fool, a scrummy blue pink.
I used Glam Polish Which Witch? as I thought this one was dense enough to give decent coverage with one coat.
I am in utter shock! it worked, better than I could ever have hoped although I still hate striping tape and will certainly stick to stamping where possible!
I have included pictures of both hands so you can see I really did do all 10 nails!

Blackberry Fool

Midnight's Secret

Jacava Blackberry Fool

What a beautiful polish this is! I have had a pretty rotten week, and then a swatching nightmare but putting this on has really lifted my spirits.
Jacava is a relatively new brand on the scene, with their truly elegant bottles, labelled with real gold. No nasties in there and no animal testing.
Blackberry Fool is a stunning magenta cream, and I am completely in love with it. I am very fussy about pink shades, some I just can't wear but this is lovely, it has just enough blueness to make it perfect for me. I can just imagine a blackberry fool in this shade and it really does look good enough to eat.
It painted in well, opaque in 2 coats and super shiny. These pics are with no top coat.
