mint and lace

As much as I loved my golden Olympic nails, they did not last very long ... I was leaving a trail of golden studs as I walked!

As always, when I'm short on inspiration I head to wanelo.com and have a browse. I came across this top from Urban Outfitters which I could immediately see would make great nails.

I decided to go for a mint half moon with lace on nude. The mint colour is Rimmel London Peppermint and then I added the lace detail using white acrylic paint over my base coat.





My right hand looks much less 'lacey' when compared to my right hand, as I am still weaker painting with my left hand.

Right hand

They look light and summery, which is perfect as I am off on holiday on Friday. I will try to keep on posting nails as I plan on bringing my nail supplies with me!

  1. Wow the lace really does look a lace doily! Nice job! I wish I had the patience to do all my hands. I probably would have done one finger and called it quits, haha!!
