My Nails Now


Left hand: skimmer on thumb and middle finger (Ignore the blue ink stain on my ring finger..)

Right hand: shimmer on ring finger and index finger. My ring figure is pictured at this angle to highlight where the triangular shaped shimmer area begins and ends. 
I finally discovered what type of nail style I prefer when my nails are long this year. Mostly neutral looks. It is very easy for long nails to look gaudy(tasteless) or down right creepy. I counter this by filing my nails in a good shape and wearing more neutral/long nail mindful styles of nail polish. I really really like adding a little shimmer on a few randomly selected nails. It gives a top while still being low key.

My idea for this manicure came from a moveSlightly post

            

This manicure is flattering on both long and short nails (rare.) I altered it using the same type of (paper) tape and a different placement.

This lighting shows the detail better.


Essie "shine of the times" & Zoya "june" where used along with a top coat.

 

This color changes deptending on how the light hits it. Even though it doesn't really show in these pictures. Oh well...

Nails, Polish, and files!
Until next time.

      Thanks, it ebbs and flows. I have long periods of great nail growth with a little brakes here and there. One big thing that contributes to the overall look of my nails besides a healthy diet (most times ;) is attention to how I shape my nails.

    I never use some fake color, because when I really want to replace them, I'll do that. If due to the time reason, that fade color looks even a little ugly, forgive my rude!
