Heeeey Everyone!!
Firstly I have to share some good news that I received yesterday. My friend got me a ticket to Latitude Festival and I am gonna be staying in the campsites with all the artists and their families. Pretty showbiz hey? So I'm super super excited to be going! It means I will be away from Thursday to Monday and possibly no posts until then... unless I squeeze some scheduled posts in if I have time :)
I had seen a few designs like these floating around on the internet and thought I would give it a go. They were actually kinda tricky to get perfect on both hands (espesh the right one. My sister made my middle finger look too fat!!) Does this style of nail have a name?? I saw a design on Lana del Rey's nails (who will incidentally be performing at Latitude :-) which is a smigeon similar (don't laugh!!) but obviously I don't have her claws... I think hers are a bit TOO long and pointy. So not exactly inspired by hers but there's a small, er, kinda, similarity.... ISH!! haha. Let's call it a Wig Wam toned down interpretation.......!

| Something about these nails made me think of the 1920s so I matched them up against a flapper style beaded clutch bag |

| Eek you can almost see the yellowness of my nails... I blame Essie for that :-s |

| My nails got very shy at the end of the photo shoot.... "Don't look at me!!! I'm so shy!!" to quote old sketch show Titty Bang Bang (NOT rude I promise!) |
Thanks for viewing and I hope all you nail-lovers are having a good start to the week!

Your version is far nicer. I hate that pointed nail "style". It's as bad as duck nails
ReplyDeleteI agree! Hers are overly long and sharp looking. I think if the point was a bit softer and not so long they would look ok. Btw WHAT are duck nails??
ReplyDeletethese "things" are duck nails: https://encrypted-tbn1.google.com/images?q=tbn:ANd9GcRoDnPOpdLwMUpRDOhXX4ZOkOjoXoKB6HuYgVygQTyuybZjnLBb
DeleteOhhh goddd they are RANK!!! They look like those spatula things you use to grout with. BLERG!
Deletei love this one!! :) so cute with the photoshoot and all!!
ReplyDeleteHehe thanks Winnie :)
Deleteohh this is cute! i've heard dipping your nails in lemon juice helps w/the yellowing (:
ReplyDeleteYeah I actually tried that and mixed it with whitening toothpaste and NADA! Maybe the solution below will help. Thanks Eileen :)
DeleteOhh that festival seems fun!!
ReplyDeleteomg I love your take on those nails! It's so chic! hehe.
As for the yellow...I saw this online and haven't tried it yet, but I want to. You can mix 1 tablespoon of hydrogen peroxide and 2 1/2 tablespoons of baking soda in a bowl and soak your nails in it...I also saw that you can brush your nails with whitening tooth paste lol. I'm curious to try both...
Thanks Traci!! Now... to find some hydrogen peroxide....
DeleteSooo sweet :)
ReplyDeleteAw thanks!
DeleteOh they're just beautiful! They remind me a lot of tulips actually.
ReplyDeleteMaybe they can be tulip nails then :)
DeleteI love that kind of nails in french we call it "stilletos" or "stillets" depending of their length, i just love it not too long just like the picture above ^^
