Day 16 is dedicated to RUFFIAN or HALFMOON manicures. I went with a halfmoon today. I added some texture- I’m not tired of that trend yet! I LOVE every single one of my textured polishes. Well, on second thought- I wish my Godiva Pixie Dust wasn’t a three-coater, but I digress….
I’m wearing two coats of Orly Faint of Heart which is a grey cream. Then I used some nail guide stickers to tape off my nails. Then I applied two thin coats of Julie G Blueberry Fizz from their Frosted GumDrops collection. What a pretty textured polish- I just love the baby blue shade and glitter! I then added some rhinestone studs since those stickers made a weird chevron indent that was begging to be filled in with some pretties! I like how it came out- the final result kinda reminds me of Cinderella’s dress for some reason. 🙂
In related news- I broke a nail in my office today. Luckily it was on my ‘non-photographic’ hand. Should I just keep that one shorter than the rest until it grows out? I dunno- I’m still staring at it in disbelief! Boohooie! Unfortunately, no one in my life will care (oh wait, except for you Nancy 🙂 ). Can I count on you ladies for support and empathy????
Thanks in advance! xoxo
16. Ruffian/Half-Moon :
That’s a gorgeous mani! Wow! And definitely support and empathy from me… I normally keep my nails on my right hand shorter than my left, for that reason 😀 No one has ever commented, or noticed, but if they do I’ll just say I’m a left handed guitarist in training 😀
A guitarist in training? Very original!! Hahahahahahahaaa
Though I’m not a fan of the textured polishes, I like how you’ve matched this one up! Very nice job! 🙂
awww, thank you Jessica!
Wow this is gorgeous!! I love it 🙂
Thanks Lisa- you’re always so encouraging and I appreciate it 🙂 😀
Looks fab!
Thank you dear!
Sooo pretty! And you’re so right, it really does mimic Cinderella’s dress…LOVE IT! 🙂
Thanks Jenn! 😀
Love this, and yes it does look like Cinderella’s dress! ^^
On another hand…hi five for breaking nails…but on our ‘non-photographic’ hand! I actually just cut it off cause it was beyond repair…then decided to go ahead and trim all of my nails(to prevent further breakage)!
Oh no! Not you too? I might hafta trim mine too
Yeah..I decided to trim too cause the difference was really strange!
OOOOO! I love this with the textured polish, it’s lovely.
🙂 thanks!
That would never work for me…i always go odd-handed just to have enough manis to update the blog! Love how you used the polish though 😀
This looks great and the tone of that texture polish – lovely. I also thought of Cinderella’s dress 😛
You could trim them to prevent more breaking, I cut mine off last week (although they didn’t break)
Maybe I will trim them. My one stub feels surprisingly fun and free! lol
That is GORGEOUS, it’s just. Beyond. I totally dig Julie polishes, but my local Rite Aid does not have any of these textures!
And I never noticed you only feature one hand for photos…I should consider that, saves time!
oh yeah- save yourself the time during the OMD! If I photographed both I would be sifting through pics for hours til I found a good shot with BOTH hands in it! lol
Pretty! I love the color of the blue polish 😀
*sends empathy* hope your nail grows back fast 😦
Noooo! Well, at least it was on your other hand. My son grabbed something from my right hand a couple if weeks ago as broke my thumbnail! I was so sad. But glad it was the right hand. 🙂
These look so stylish and chic! Great job!
