Gradient French Manicure. . . Fail

Sometimes I think the blog medium is rather fortunate, because I am so hyper right now if I was speaking to you I would be talking a million words a minute.  This is what happens when you don't drink caffeine and you have two very strong black teas to keep a migraine at bay.  I feel like my skin can't completely hold me in.  I don't know how those with ADD or ADHD do it.  (If that comment is offensive to anyone I am sorry, I don't mean it that way)

On to the manicure and all its. . . Well, you'll see.


I was trying to imitate this elegant design by Door Sixteen.  I think the nude is the wrong color for my skin tone and that I should have sponged both colors on rather than what I did, which was sponge just the dark brown.


I used China Glaze Sunset Sail and Sephora by OPI I'm With Brad.


To me, SS looks too plastic and fake.  I have never tried to find my manikin color, but I think I may need to start that quest.


This is not the last time you will see this design, I will try it again when I have found a better nude color, in the meantime I think I will do it again tonight with more traditional French manicure colors (pink and white).  Hopefully that will help calm me down. . .

Tootles!

I like Pie!

When I think of pie I think of a friend of mine and exclaiming, "I like pie!" in a movie he was in.  Well, in honor of Thanksgiving and Ryan Wood, I give you the cherry pie manicure!


I got the idea from Refinery 29.  I guess it is a fashion website. . . I honestly don't know, I just found the picture on google when I was looking for Thanksgiving manicures.


I used OPI Thank So Muchness and China Glaze Sunset Sail.


I really like the look.  It is simple and Thanksgiving-esque without being your typical leaves or Turkey.  I kind of wish I had discovered it earlier, becaues I think I could have done a pie manicure series.  Maybe next year.


Tootles!
