Classic French Manicure

So yesterday I had an event to go to and I wanted to have chic yet classy nails. What fits the description better than a French Manicure?! For years I used to try and do this on myself. I’d buy those kits from Boots and those white tip pens and it always looked hideous. Then I discovered nail vinyls and it changed my manicuring life. See….ta da! Perfect French tips:

 

 

This is a little gathering of all the products I used. Details below photo.

Polishes are all Essie

White: Blanc

Sheer Pink: Vanity Fairest

Top Coat: Good to Go

The nail vinyls are from www.nailvinyls.com and the tweezers are just for easy application and removal of the vinyls. And, of course, a trusty clean up brush. 

So how do you all do french manicures? Freehand or with assistance like me?

Tie Dye Inspired Nails

Well everyone has got to start somewhere...hello!

Today I have for you just a simple dry brush manicure inspired by a cute tie dye T-Shirt I bought from the adorable Brat and Suzie. So here is my inspiration:

And here is my finished look:

I was also going to add some blue in but I didn't want it to look too messy (and I also ran out of time!). I created this look using the dry brush technique using:

White: Essie - Blanc

Pink: OPI - Suzi Shops and Island Hops

Green: OPI - That's Hula-rious

Yellow: China Glaze - Lemon Fizz

Top coat: Essie - Good to Go

So...what do you think?!
