Turquoise Tips

I never wear french tip manis, but suddenly one night last week I got the urge to do one.  I just can't bring myself to wear a normal french mani (makes me feel like a Barbie) so I went with a bit of a different look; here's the result!  


I started off with a base of LaCC 1992; once that was dry I taped off the tips and added LaCC 1977.  Topped it all off with two coats of LaCC 2013 top coat for a smooth finish. 


Even though the awesome colour combination helped a bit, I still felt really out of my element wearing french tips.   I guess it's just not my thing!


Is this fun spring-y look something you'd wear?  Are you like me with some particular styles of nail art, where you just don't feel very "you" wearing them?  :P  I'm curious, leave a comment!  :)

  2. I have the same strange "hang up" with french tips. I think it might be because my nails are not completely square. That said, I do love this on you! ;)

  11. I do like French tips but don't wear them often as they can be a bit plain, but jazzing it up with a coloured tip is a great idea. You have done these so neatly too!

  13. Howdy would you mind stating which blog platform you're using? I'm planning to start my own blog in the near future but I'm having a difficult time choosing between BlogEngine/Wordpress/B2evolution and Drupal. The reason I ask is because your layout seems different then most blogs and I'm looking for something completely unique.
    P.S Sorry for being off-topic but I had to ask!
