Voulez Vous...



Well....what can I say about today? I had good intentions. I really wanted this to turn out differently than it ended up turning out. I think half the problem is that I did it basically in the dark and all freehand. Apologies for the lighting as well, it's been SUPER rainy here lately.  At any rate. These were inspired by an iPad case I saw on Instagram.  I really love chevrons, they're one of my favorite patterns.  But they're tricky to do freehand because you need to be sure the spacing is on and they're not less tricky when you have to stop 3/4 of the way across!  I think they came out OK but later in the week I got the idea to do them over again in better light. You can see what transpired with that if you tune back in on Friday! I ended up going in a bit of a different direction after I got started! I hope you enjoy these anyway! :)

A Vintage Twist



These nails were actually what I wore for my birthday.  It's been a really long time since I did anything super fancy on my nails and I have LOADS of fun beads and tapes and other such novelties so I decided to break them out for my birthday.  I used my favorite color combination for this one and one of my favorite patterns!! I started with a plan to use tape to make the chevrons but I gave up on that pretty early on.  It just seemed like too much work, so I free handed it instead.  The original design had just the green minty nails and the gold, pearls, and roses were sort of an after thought but I love the way it turned out! It's so vintage and Marie Antoinette. LOVE. The green base on these nails is Zoya Neely. Such a lovely soft green.  It's a hair less blue than butter LONDON Fiver so I feel great about getting both. Plus, let's face it I'm addicted to mint green!!
