On My Nails: French Tips with (For) Audrey

By icyabstract · June 19, 2012 · 5 Comments ·

Crazy is probably an understated word to describe what the weekend had been. Have you ever came out of a weekend feeling more tired than ever as opposed to feeling recharged?

Well that's what this was though amidst all that, it was fun times and somehow I managed to squeeze in some time to have some fun with my nails!

I wanted to try my hand at a fun-colored french manicure and here's what I ended up with!

I dug out China Glaze's For Audrey (love this color on my toes) and applied that after using a coat for OPI's Fair Dinkum Pinkum.

I initially left it as that but felt the manicure wasn't 'defined' enough and so I added that black trim with Etude House's Nail Art Pen.

For the fun of, I drew a simple bow on my thumb!

The lines definitely aren't perfect and I wish I was able to do a sleeker line but it was fun doing this up! It's interesting having nude-ish nails yet with a bright rim of color and a contrasting black line.

To 'live out' the effort, I would have wanted to wear this manicure for a longer period of time but I broke a nail on my right hand so... I shall see how long I can go tolerating that nick till I have to remove it all and trim everything short.

Thanks for reading!

What are some fun little manicures you like to do?


p.s. in other news.... I passed my Driving Practical today! Holla if you see me on the road, or maybe not...

Ha ha, congrats on passing your driving test! The OPI polish looks a tad streaky though. No offense, cos I know some nude polishes are a PITA to work with. Shocked

Regis: Yesss! It was streaky! I hated it, but it could be because I've had that bottle for waaay too long. I want to indulge in the new OPI nude collection and maybe ahem, set this OPI bottle free (aka throwing it ou).

dooey89: Actually I dragged my driving on for super long since I was doing it between jobs and such. I had to renew my PDL once but after awhile I figured, best to get it over and done with!
