Fruit is a staple in my diet and it seems, my nails. This is another freehanded French design, though this one is v-shaped. I wanted a bright fun look and a sparkly dark red nail polish was perfect for my mood. The lychee fruit decals have a predominantly red color scheme and so fit the…
Feathery: Feather Decal Accent Nails
This one is really simple, but I figured I’d post it anyways. The feather decals didn’t apply as well as I’d hoped, but the idea came across anyways. I wanted to echo the colors of the decals with the polish on the other nails without matching too closely; hence the grey with blue, green and…
Vines and Roses: Black, White and Red Vines and Roses French Manicure
Quite a few people were complimenting me of this manicure, but I realized that while I took photos of it, I never posted them. I went with this design when I was trying to decide on a design to compliment the dress I wore here. I didn’t feel like matching exactly, but I did use…
Winter Nails: Birds and Pines and Snowflakes French Manicure
I was finally in the mood for a wintery manicure with the holidays coming up. Snowflakes were an obvious choice and worked really nicely with the white in the French tip decals I chose. This is more of an understated look, but I really like how it came out and I feel that it is…
Birds: Navy French Manicure with Foils and Black Birds
Birds are an image I really enjoy. I would wear the pattern a lot more in my clothing if I could find suitable items, but alas…This is another French manicure; though this one I drew with a jagged edge to add some visual interest. I also applied foils in a few random areas of the…
Black Nails: Black French Manicure with Black Cherry Blossoms
This time I decided to go with a simpler more elegant look. I also drew the French free-handed with the nail polish brush itself (not the most precise way to do it, but definitely the quickest). In the name of previously mentioned elegance and simplicity I matched my black tips to black cherry blossom decals….
Black and White: Black and White Nails with Decals and Foils
This time my manicure is made up of decals and foils. I really liked the look of the former (the ladies), but didn’t want a full manicure made up just of those. I wanted a little more variety I guess…Plus I had pretty new foils I wanted to try out. Foils are kind of like…
Another French Manicure: Floral French Nails with Black Leaves
I actually forgot to post this manicure until after I’d worn it for quite a while (oops). Floral French decals were used along with the same leaf decals I used last time (I really like them and they go so well with the French design, complimenting it rather than overwhelming it). I find white on…
Matching: Floral Crystal French Nails
On average, I do my nails once a week or so (sometimes my manicure survives a rather impressive ten-fourteen days and sometimes it’s gone in five). In any case, since today is the day I decided to change it again, I thought I would show it to you guys. I always knew that this blog…
