nailed it: nude + gold

nailed it: nude + gold by juneheartsfashion

 I splurged for a manicure yesterday.  A picture from Pinterest was my inspiration.  However my nail beds proved to be very short.  [That is a really nice way of saying I have stubby fingers.]  The ombre glitter look just wasn't working.  So, through collaboration with the manicurist we decided upon a nude color (OPI/Bubble Bath) and gold sparkle tips.  The Art Club nail brush was extremely fine. It seemed easy enough to paint a very thin line just on the tips.  I am loving my spring inspired nude + gold manicure.  Hoping it lasts for more than a day.

PS.  It is near impossible to take a decent photo of your own nails.

I don't often get manicures, but I think I am going for it the next time I splurge.  "Go for it", you ask?   The glitter.  I am going to go for the glitter.  

It is something I can't do myself [or at least not very easily] and it would be something totally out of my wheel house.  Since emerald is the 2013 Pantone Color of the Year- green is all the rage.

The mint and gold seems light with a bit of fun.  What do you think?

Anyone ever played with nail glitter?
