For this mani I wanted something simple, but still pretty. For some reason I just love the french mani look. But it's kinda boring unless it's a "funky french" which is just using a color instead of white. Anyway, I liked how it turned out and I got lots of compliments! This is actually a bit of an oldie... but I love it!
I started with 2 coats CND Putty which is pretty sheer beige. It basically just evens out your nails so they look perfect. Application on that was amazing, as usual. I love CND polish. Then I added 2 coats of OPI Yodel Me on My Cell for the tips. I put a stripe with Stripe Rite White on the bottom edge of the teal to cover up my not-so-great edge, lol. I also put some Stripe Rite Silver Glitter on that edge. Then I added some stickers from Viva la Nails and topped it all with 1 coat of China Glaze Fairy Dust, a very small holo glitter.
Pretty! Now to me, this looks like straight up teal. However, I had a few people ask if I had on "Eagles green." I guess they're close, but not really the same to me. Not to mention I could really care less about sporting football colors on my nails. I happened to wear this mani on the weekend, so I guess that's why people assumed. Oh well, lol.
