Purple purple purple

Okay guys. So lately I've been pretty bored with my nails. No real inspiration. So today I whipped out my all time favourite polish, Do You Lilac It by OPI. I also used Planks A Lot and a black sparky Julep I can't recall the name of right now.

Here ya go, guys!

First French Attempt

Okay guys, so I wasn't really sure if I was even going to post this one cuz it's a pretty pathetic final product. But the colours themselves are gorgeous and I thought they at least deserved to be shared.

This is my first attempt at doing anything that remotely has a french tip. I didn't try to use any fancy techniques or anything, just free handed it with a smaller paint brush. That wasn't where my biggest problem came from. My biggest problem was actually my impatience. I didn't consider that because I'd be applying a DIFFERENT colour over my polish for the french tips that they may mix.. Oops!!!!

I used two colours for this mani. Both OPI. The yellow is called ' The It Colour' and the pink is called 'Manicurist of Seville'. I'll post seperate swatch posts to discuss the actual polish later.


See what I mean about the two colours getting mixed?
The left hand wasn't so bad.


To be completely honest, I probably will wear this manicure until it gets all chippy because I really really like the colours so that's part of why I'm posting this even though it isn't the greatest. Maybe I'll try french tips again sometime soon and use a better technique.. I've heard the circular bandaids work great!
