Hi Guys!
I'm not dead and you get to hear from me again!
Yahoo!
Ok, well, you probably didn't even notice but I took a long absence. A little thing called life got in the way...
Well, actually no. I'm lying.
I'm just a lazy bum who doesn't fix her camera. Little roadblock.

Anyways, I wanted to send out a quick post and show you guys what's been on my nails. Or actually, by the time anyone reads this, what WAS on my nails because I already messed them all up and I'll be off to do my nails again after this. And I only got a quick pic on my phone before I had dinked them all up.
Sadness.
I've been wanting to try chevron tip for a while and so I did a bit of a natural "french" take on them.
The way I did it was first, I drew the chevron tip with a Sally Hansen French Manicure Pen in Pure White. These little pens are super handy and make french manicures so much easier. I always have at least one at all times. (I find the fine tip much easier to use than the traditional tip!)
Then I painted a coat of this OPI polish but I honestly cant remember the name of the one I used. It is a mini from their NYC ballet collection but I didn't keep the box or the sticker and they were a couple that looked pretty similar. I think it could possibly be Care to Danse?? but not sure. It came up really sheer with a super slight pinkish tint to it. So, if anyone know for sure what this color is (even though you can't really see it well in this picture) let me know!
After that dried, I drew on the gold accent line and, on the pinky, a dotted line with a Sally Hansen nail art pen in Gold. These are really nifty little things too. The only trouble I seem to have with this one is that it doesn't last very long and tends to smear around after a while.
Topped off with a top coat and was quite pleased with how it came out!
This is a great look for a special occasion, like a wedding or prom. A bit of a fun different twist on the classic french manicure.
Wish it could've stayed like this longer.
