Today's post features a mani that I did to match one of my favorite dresses. I really love the challenge of creating a design that mimics/matches an outfit I'm wearing...
Colors Used: Zoya - Yara, OPI - "It" Color, Julep - Denver, Sally Hansen - White On
If I was smart, I'd take a pic of the dress to go along with this post. Alas, I am not that smart (translate that into "I'm lazy"). Just trust that it matched my outfit well lol. I started with 2 coats of Yara as my base, an olive-green creme with gold glitter bits...
I then took a medium sized dotting tool and did 2 rows at a time, first dotting then flipping it around to the pointy-end and dragging. It was actually a pretty quick and easy design :) I topped it with OPI RapiDry.
Yay fashion!
Has anyone else attempted recreating the textile of their outfit on their nails? Love it, hate it??
Until next time!
