I really fancied doing a French manicure today, but didn't have any of those little half moon stickers, so I did them free hand. I am usually awful at doing the tips neatly, but this time I don't think it went too bad. I think the key to neat tips is to not have too much polish on the brush, as I usually put far too much on and make a mess.
I fancied something a bit different to the typical white tips and vaguely remembered Zoey Deschanel tweeting a picture of a French manicure with mint tips, so I used 'Office' by American Apparel which is one of my favourite nail polishes of the moment. Then I used 2 coats of 'Rose Lounge' by Bourjois over the top. I really like how it turned out. I think it's a nice summery twist to a classic nail design.
Do you like French manicures?
xoxo, Joy
I love that the top of the nails are green :D
ReplyDeleteThanks :) x
DeleteOooh that looks so pretty but still really sophisticated! I'm terrible at painting on tips though, I have to go to the salon for that or paint them myself a block colour haha :)
ReplyDeleteThanks Lydia! I'm usually awful at it too, but I think I got lucky this time, lol x
DeleteCute! :)
ReplyDeleteYou can get guide stickers to help you do French tips, but honestly I think yours look great anyway! x
Thanks! Ooh, I might have to get some of those. Thanks, I just got lucky and my other hand is considerably worse! x
