Today's manicure is a little different from my normal style. Normally I avoid French manicures as:
a) I can't do them well, even with tip guides, and
b) they tend to remind me of Essex-style false nails which I'm not a fan of!
However, I had the unexplainable urge to do a French with ultra-glittery accents and a decal to boot, so here I am!
For the French nails themselves I took lots of time for proper drying and to get them perfect. As a tip guide I used round page reinforcer stickers. My white was Sinful Colors' Snow Me White and my sheer was MeMeMe's Graceful. Both of these I recommend; Snow Me White gives great coverage and Graceful has a wide brush which is perfect for getting a one-coat even finish.
The glittery accents are Nails Inc's Marylebone, topped with a liberal coat of Gelous then Seche Vite.
The water decal is by YRNails, a UK nail decal store; I bought the love trees here.
I'm not sure if this manicure is to everyone's taste (I wasn't sure if it was to my taste!) but it's nice to experiment and to keep trying out new ideas!
Hugs,
