New Wave & Pink Whales

There's a bit of a story to this mani, so bear with me...  Last weekend I went to the mall in search of these J Crew socks.  I obviously have a thing for funny socks, because I had seen them on a previous trip and resisted buying them, and really regretted it.  Luckily for me, I went back this time and the shark socks were on sale, and I found another pair that I like even more with whales on them!  

On the same trip to the mall, I innocently walked into Sephora just looking to grab some more concealer, when I spotted one lonely bottle of the limited edition Marc Jacobs New Wave.  However, there were fifty billion people in line so I resigned to just getting concealer at the drugstore.  I was doing so well, but unfortunately Sephora is right by the exit of the mall... So my polish-hoarding self got the better of me and on my way out I went back in to just check if it was still there... And it was... And there was no line-up... So it came home with me.  


Of course I had to put on the Marc Jacobs polish as soon as I got home; two flawless coats for opacity.  What an absolutely gorgeous navy creme!  I wanted to add a little something to the base, and I couldn't resist replicating the adorable whales from my socks!  The little guy is freehanded with LaCC 1950 and a bit of white acrylic paint.  All nails are topped with Seche Vite, as usual. 


Above is a swatch of Marc Jacobs New Wave alone, and below are the whale socks.  :)

All in all, I was completely in love with this mani.  The navy is so beautiful, and the whale was just so irresistibly adorable!  What do you think?  :)
