I just got around to doing my nails today, and thought I'd give you a peek. It's Nubar Hot Pink with Konad M19 tips, and intended to be silly.
You see, I live in the land of pink and whites (the acrylics made into a permanent French manicure). Supposing someone has her nails done at all, I'd say it's an 80% chance that they're pink and whites. Even my best friend has them. That's a down side to living in a smaller community - when I lived in downtown Chicago, I'd see all kinds of fun manicures and high fashion galore (not that I participated in the fashion side of things!), but here, we're many years behind the trends. So somewhat short pink & whites it is.
I went through some pinks to find a low-maintenance neon, and ended up with Nubar Hot Pink, which took three coats. I did some things until it was dry enough to stamp, then used Konad white with plate M19 to make French tips. The white wasn't totally, stark-as-white-out opaque, so I went over it with two coats of Orly White Out, making the coats as thin as I possibly could. I can't freehand a Funky French tip to save my life - heck, I can only freehand a regular French tip when my nails are their shortest, and imperfectly at that, so using the Konad stamp as a guide was necessary for me even though I went back over it with polish. The polish isn't quite perfect - I took a call while I stamped and painted the tips. I actually thought I did well until I saw the magnified pictures to show me where I blurred a line here and there - walking around, they look like I wanted them to.
So this, Dear Reader, is my parody of pink and whites to make me giggle today.
