Just because I have not been writing doesn't mean I have not been manicuring. Or photographing. So here are some recent looks my digits have been sporting!
One trend I have really liked is just a plain matte color in a paste-like tone. I did this with mauve and gray (apparently, though, I only photographed the gray in very bad lighting):
Just take my word for it - it looked awesome. I thought it was both stylish and professional enough to wear to my job interview.
This was photographed nearly a week after the manicure was actually done. It does show a little wear and tear, but really not that much. Another perk of the matte top coat is how well it improves polishes' staying power!
At the beginning of the month (I guess?) when my nails were short, I did a similar pastel look, but kept the polish's intended shimmery finish.
This look is not in fashion right now, but I think it is classic, classy, and totally worth having somewhere in my manicure rotation.
Another look I tried was floral-inspired nail art. I'd love to hear what you guys think about this because basically I hated both these looks and took them off pretty much right after photographing them. What do you think?
This incorporates the idea of petals, matte emerald, and pastel purple and pink. For some reason it didn't do it for me though. (Note my awesomely colored purple walls as the background, though.)
This, I realize, may not look floral at first glance, but is a riff on a dandy-lion themed dress I have. I think it's the yellow in it that's so irritating and I might try the design on the tips again with a different base color (teal? purple? gray?) underneath.
And finally, here is what my hands look like right now.
I'm not sure whether I'll post more or less frequently during my super-busy summer... Thanks for hanging in there so far and stay tuned to find out!
