Black French Tip - Blogger Inspired.

Today I have a really cute manicure that was inspired by Chloe's Nails - Funky French - Look how cute this is! It's way nicer than mine, and I shouldn't even be showing you guys this, seeing as mine looks sort of cruddy beside hers, but alas - you must all check out her blog! (and she's back from a long time away!)

 

I love this manicure, and no joke - I tried doing this all weekend. I had two polish parties with my girlfriend's and wanted a bit more of a subtle manicure so I used a sheer pink from Revlon.. and I tried so many times (probably about 7 times, about 2-4 layers per time. I could have easily used 1/5 of this polish that I JUST bought!) and the polish wouldn't dry!! Not with Rapid Dri, not with a Fast drying top coat, and not by playing the waiting game.. Each time, I would look down and it was like they magically smudged, nicked, or pushed up.. So finally, after battling this one polish - which I'm going to have to find out the name for you guys, seeing as it was a pain to apply.. I finally decided I hated the polish, and didn't want to do this manicure so I gave up and did a foil manicure - which I will show here tomorrow. It was sort of a fail too, but whatever! Hah, it was my first time. More on that later..

Then last night I decided I wanted to try this manicure again, I wasn't kidding when I said I love it! So Instead of using that stupid polish, I used China Glaze something sweet. and it worked out great! Are you all ready to see my interpretation of this manicure?!?!

I squared my nails off this weekend, and it took some length off. I love thick tips for french manicure, but this kind of made my nails look a little chubby, but it's still cute..

Also I am a little sad, Although it doesn't show up in real life that badly, I didn't clean up this manicure at all, and it really shows in the photo's =[

Julep Natalie

It seems like I've been wearing a lot of julep polishes lately. Well it's true, even though I'm not a major fan of Julep, and their polish isn't very original, I don't have many polishes like them - so I don't mind their 'lack of creativity' as some blogger would say.

The reason I chose this polish is because I am wearing this really cute sweater (shown left) that I bought from Esprit last week during their closing sale (YAY 70% off!). and was hoping that this was a coral and would match the coral / orange in the sweater - but sadly, it's a bright pink with no orange undertones. No worries though.. it's still cute.

My main polish idea was actually the deep berry pink in the sweater - but I didn't have time to look though all my colours this morning to make a match - so I picked this one and was on my way out the door. I am still taking photo's with my camera - mind you I upgraded my phone so my camera is better but I still don't get many natural light shots like I did today.

Here is the bottle, and bottle colour. I am pretty proud of myself I am getting it pretty colour accurate. The only difference is that my nails are a smidge warmer than the actual colour, which is a bit more neon. The colour is accurate though.. (does that make sense??)
I don't have a top coat or a base coat since I did it quickly on my break =]

Also, please don't mind the blog looking different everyday, I am trying to figure out how I like it so it doesn't look so cruddy. HA HA so please bear with me. Thanks for stopping by <3
