silver stripes.




as per tradition, i have once again decided to celebrate valentine's day with a non-girly, minimalist manicure. last february i went with the black/red combo, but decided to nix the obvious colors this time around and sport a winter-esque mani instead.

i confess, i've seen several variations of this design before, but decided to give it a go on my own terms. also, my BFF kayley informed me that there are actually foil strips that you can purchase for these types of designs, instead of attempting to sloppish-ly freehand a straight line across the nail. who knew? definitely going to have to give those a try. 

nail colors are essie's "steel-ing the scene" and "blanc"

happy hump day lovelies. 
xoxo, blair.

  6. I like your "freehand" nails better than those accurate and over-accessorized nails to be honest. Lovely color combo! Have a great V-Day girl!
