nail art :: metallic french


had a hot date with my essie polishes again. meow! this nail art diddy has been dubbed "metallic french". honestly, this french manicure was a pain in my ____! [bottom, that is] // it's an insane undertaking to paint a straight line on white polish. trust me [unless your a nail pro] // thus, this bit of nail art falls into the "advanced" category for you DIY-ers out there // give yourself plenty of time + a glass of wine :)

the nail polish goods
essie's "blanc" + "steel-ing the scene"

xoxo, blair.

p.s. anyone else snatch up sleigh bell's "reign of terror" album today?? it's finally out! samplings here...
