Fish egg!
A little late to the
First endeavours into stamping
Here is a little something I pulled together with the help of a Konad stamping plate. Do not ask me which one, I have no recollection. It's from one of the French tips plates, though, if that helps.
This manicure was amazing because everyone thought I had free-handed the bows perfectly. Don't make me laugh, ha.
I struggle with the placement of these stupid stamps, though, which you can tell from this manicure. I can NEVER get them exactly where I want them and am extremely envious of those who have this magic skill.
Black and white dot magic
These are the nails I wore to view the new Great Gatsby film. I figured there would be a lot of tuxedos in the movie (and I was right... nailed it. Ha! Nail. Nailed it. I'm awesome) and it is a type of nod to a vintage manicure.
I was gratified to see some authentic vintage laquer looks in the movie, so two thumbs up for that. A twenties-era manicure was typified by a half-moon and tips without polish on them. Also, a curved, pointy-shaped nail. Here is a difficult to see picture:
You get the idea! History lesson over.
La la laaaaaa.
What began as some sort of striping adventure was quickly derailed by my shaky hand with the striping brush. I needed a distraction, and so added music notes, which was pretty much adorable. And it matched my dress, so it was doubly amazing.
Vintage-y flowers
Courtesy of a particularly generous Reddit gift exchange, I recently received the Zoya and butter London summer pastel collections. What better way to show them off?
The roses are especially satisfying because from a distance/when my hands are in motion, they look very detailed and impressive.
These are inspired by my pajamas, which I will decidedly not be showing you a picture of. Enjoy!
