I was a little too ambitious today. I was going to go ALL OUT. No, really, I was going to use ALL the polishes *and* even figure out how to stick on those Swarovski-esque jewels to my fingers.
I did one nail and decided I was DONE being fancy. It was waaaay too much work. Besides, my one nail looks like a clown put on all of it’s costume jewelry then showed up to a black tie event. It stands out, but in a bad way. Like, “watch out, Kristen just took that OMG tacky skirt out of her closet and then BEDAZZLED it” bad. For real, it wouldn’t surprise me if the Met asked me to donate my nail to their CAMP Fashion Exhibit.
But you know what? At least I know how to stick jewelry to my fingers now! Can’t you just see the bad nail art from a mile away?! It’s going to be so terribly good!
All polishes used were from Deborah Lippmann:
- Black Magic Woman
- Great Balls of Fire
- Hot Child in the City
- Happy Birthday
- Like Dreamers Do
- Venus in Furs
(See, I told you I used ALL the polishes!)
Plus some generic Swarovski crystals from Amazon.
Haha!! This is why I never do my nails other than just polish. I would mess it up so bad! As soon as I saw the picture I thought, “Well she has bedazzled her nails!” 😀
24 hours later and it looks even worse. Half the crystals have fallen off and things look ROUGH. 😀
Well done for trying this out! And you made a decent effort, really.
I wouldn’t have managed to place the crystals half as neatly as you did (although I think I would have lost all of them within 1 hour).
I have no talent for anything that requires an eye for detail or a steady hand. That’s why I love stamping. It’s the ultimate “how to cheat at nail art” thing. 😉
To be fair, the crystals fell off within 24 hours. I would’ve mentioned that in the post except I published immediately since I was all, “OMG SHINY THINGS ON MY NAILS!”
I think its fun trying it out, I know the results are amateur at best and trainwreck at worst but at least I’m enjoying the hobby!
