My First French

Just a quick post today since I'm leaving town tomorrow! I'll be getting together with old friends and watching one of my dear friends get married, so no posts from me for a few days! While figuring out what to wear to the wedding I actually tried something I've never done before..

Are you ready to see something weird? This is my first french manicure (ever). I don't really think this is a good look for me. I completely hated it while I had it on my nails. Perhaps it's because I have wide nails, or my color choices, but I just think it looks strange.

I used Urban Decay Naked as the base, Sinful Colors White Striper to freehand the tips, then added a layer of Julep Gracie to tie it all together.



Is there any nail polish look that you absolutely hate on yourself?

  1. I think you did really well. I wouldn't have guessed that this is your first try.

  2. Gorgeous! I love that you used a nude creme rather than a sheer. So elegant.

    1. Haha thanks! I avoided a sheer because I know my nails are stained from all of my red polish. This was the easiest way to cover it up. :D

    1. Thank you! I think I don't like it because I don't ever wear french manicures. I also grew up as a nail-biter, so to have any free edge showing is still strange for me, the white tip just accentuates it!
