I hope that you are getting excited about the holidays. I'm a scrooge, so I don't really love the holiday season as most people do. But that is beside the point. Maybe my attitude will perk up soon.
I really enjoy the work that Erika does over at Chloe's Nails. If you haven't checked out her site, she is very talented. She has not posted anything since April...I hope everything is alright in her neck of the woods. Anyway, she is really good at the "Funky French." I thought I would give it a try.
I failed...awful, terrible failed.
It started out so pretty. I used two coats of Essie Mademoiselle, two coats of Essence Color and Go in Space Queen. I'm a sucker for any type of glitter and the two pinks meshed very well together.
Once those dried, I applied Sinful Colors Black on Black on the tips for the official "Funky French" look.
I don't have a thumb...just kidding.
As you can see here, my lines aren't very straight. It actually looks better in the pictures than it does on my nail...which is not saying much.
These are the two polishes I used for the base. I'm a big Essie user. I like the trendy and classic colors that I can purchase at the drugstore.
I don't know if you can tell, but these are not my natural nails. I'll post about that soon.
I like the concept, but I'll stick with the basic white tip for this color combo next time.
Have a great evening!

PS - Random Nail Tip of the Day - SV stands for Seche Vite. I purchase mine at Sally's Beauty but you can get it at Target, Amazon.com, and many other stores. It is a very think top coat that tames most glitters and leaves a healthy shine. Lots of bloggers use SV for their top coat. Some bloggers complain that the use of SV makes their polish "shrink" on the nail. I was not too sure what this meant, but after using it on an indie polish, I understand. I will elaborate on the shrinkage when I get around to posting on that indie polish.
