mod

Hey guys,

I've seriously been lacking nail inspiration lately. Before I started this manicure, I found three colors that meshed well together & decided that I HAD to use them in my next manicure. The trouble was figuring out what to do with them. I decided to try a design that I had done a few years back, that looks like it took hours, but it is relatively easy. After the design was done, I wished the dots were in a more contrasting color because in some light they blend in.  Overall, I really like this clean, simple manicure.

Please don't mind the pictures, I had to use flash on some of them to try to show the true color

damsel in distress

This manicure was one of the easier ones I attempted, but I also think it's one of the prettiest. I first applied Essie's Damsel in Distress as a base and liked it so much I almost didn't want to do any art. It was hard to photograph the polish to show its true color, but it is a rich dark purple with a hint of maroon and slight shimmer. I just did a simple design using gold glitter and I think the colors compliment each other very well.
