Bonjour! Day 25 of the challenge is "inspired by fashion". Here's my nail look!
I think I am fairly stylish in my own way, but I am not trendy or fashionable, and I do not care about designers and brands and such. So I did a simple Google image search for "fashion", and found inspiration on the very first page of results!
This image is from Tumblr. I do not know how to Tumblr. I looked everywhere trying to find a source, but there is no artist name here and I couldn't even see who uploaded it. A Google image search was also fruitless. I am more than happy to give credit to the artist if I can figure out who it is! Any help from you lovely people on this topic would be very much appreciated! (Update: didn't find an artist, but traced most instances of it to the URL above, so I'm sticking with that!)
Anyway, I very much fell in love with the look on the far right, so I did half moons with Sally Hansen Xtreme Wear Mellow Yellow, and painted the rest of the nail white with Orly Pointe Blanche. Then I added vertical stripes with my black Stripe Rite polish. Finally, some pretty half-pearls along the line, and Seche Vite to top it all off.
I wore these out for cocktails with a friend (hi Suzy!) and, by total coincidence, my nails matched the decor in the place! I'd never been there before, but look at the pattern on the seats...
So you know, maybe it was the strawberry-basil martini talking, but I felt pretty sophisticated. ;)
I hope you like these--I sure do! See you next time xoxo

That is so awesome that your nails ended up matching the place you were visiting! What is the likelihood of that?!?!?
ReplyDeleteI know right?? Suzy suggested they should hire me to just sit around and look nice with the surroundings xD but that would never work... I couldn't possibly have the same nails every day! ;)
ReplyDeleteI love what you did here! I dress nice, but high fashion has never been my thing either. You choose a great dress and and styled it up perfectly!
