Being a nail art FAN, emphasis on being a FAN because I don't think I have the hands for those exquisite nail art some bloggers do, but I appreciate so much. It was love at first sight (not minding the photoshopped fingers of the hand models - no hand lines and wrinkles, really?) when I came across the promo pics of YSL's Fall 2010 Couture Manicure "Rock & Baroque" which will be launched this August. I liked all the combinations, gold and plum, turquoise and purple, orange and fuschia except the pink and white which I think is boring.

Last night I gave it a try. I took a quick scan of all the nail lacquers I have, and decided on OPI's Jade is the new black and Curry up don't be late. Base coat from The Face Shop, topcoat is Seche Vite.
photobooth snap of me and my french tips :)
here's a close up, I'm afraid to clean the sides because I'm a klutz and I might ruin the whole thing. hahaha! :P
I can't believe I pulled it off! I did my own french tip manicure. Patience is key. *dancing in glee* I'm definitely going to practice more to improve my nail art skills.
next time, I'm going for this style:
Belle du jour, turquoise and purple
Are you a fan of the french tip? :)
nice 1... will try it out too! Hehehe...
ReplyDeleteLurve it! I do like French tips =D
ReplyDeleteaww cute! You did a great job on replicating the YSL nails.
ReplyDeleteYou know what I like to use to clean around the corners of my nails with? I love using pointed q-tips. The round ones don't really catch on with as much stuff, as the pointed ones do! :)
ReplyDeleteCute mani! I'll have to try this out :)
ReplyDeleteWow! It's so nice!!! I think I really have to stock on some nail polishes... =)
ReplyDeleteCute! :) I love nail art, I also try to do fancy-schmanzy designs on my tips whenever I am in the mood :D
ReplyDeleteOooh I likey the turquoise and gold number hehe Ive never seen the ysl promos but I'm really liking the colours and style <3

ReplyDeletehehehe I could never do that. Whenever I try to do something fancy with my nails, the nail polish just ends up chipping. sigh.... I just think that I am destined not to use nail polish. :D
i like the YSL idea of changing the color of the tip. i wana try too but always make a mess of it!
ReplyDeleteYes, I'm a fan! I like this look.. I would love to try the gold base and black tip combo :) The color combo on your nails is nice too! I think it's bold and chic. I heard Inception is a good movie too!! Ahh now I really wanna watch that and Toy Story 3 and Despicable Me.. soo many :P
