The Meh Manicure

9:46:00 PM

Welcome to this lovely post to discuss the manicure I have disliked for the past 48 hours and have slowly chipped away during my 8 hour work shift.  Thursday night was the manicure night from hell.  I did three different things and hated them all.

First I attempted a chevron design with Revlon Charming, Sally Hansen Celeb City, and some flakies.  The silver and lavender looked horrible together.  I then tried doing the Charming with a dark purple, and again, horrible.  

So instead of doing a simple manicure, I decided to revert to some nail art.  Grabbed my sky blue and decided to do an easy sky manicure.

Photo time...




Colors Used:
  • Base
    • Color Club - Blue Light - but it might be Factory Girl, I'm still not 100% positive ever since the stupid sticker fell off
  • Clouds
    • New York Color - French Tip White
  • Flowers
    • Funky Fingers -Riot!
    • Sinful Colors - Cream Pink
    • Revlon - Sassy
  • Top
    • New York Color -- White Lights Glitter

It was an easy manicure which was created 100% with the dotting tool.

I'm not sure why these nails were so "meh" to me.  I mainly think it was because I was expecting the Chevrons to kick butt and then they turned into a huge disappointment.  I also kind of wish I didn't do the flower accent nails and just did clouds on all my nails.  Oh well, lessons learned.

I want to attempt the Chevrons again, next time with a dark purple and the silver.  Thoughts?  Does anyone have a good idea of what colors would look amazing with one another??

    Teal and gold, pink and black, black and gold, yellow and pink, yellow and purple, those are all pretty nice color combos in my opinion.
