Manicure idea

in May 2010 Weddings

I don't know how many of you ladies do your nails, but I wanted to share something! Last night I wanted to do a french tip on my nails, but I used my favorite gray nail polish instead of white. Then I put a shimmery top coat on it and they look silver. I love itSmile I think this would be great for around the holidays with some kind of christmas nail stickers haha

Here's a picture, my hand looks really weird lol

    I can't do French tips because I keep my nails really short. But yours look nice :)

    Thanks =] I used to bite my nails all the time so they were always REALLY short. HH helped me break the habit when we started dating though.

    Those look really nice! Nail polish is murder on my nails, though, so I use it very rarely. I grow mine out to about the length yours are and just let them be, so they kind of have a natural "French manicure" look going on. Sometimes I use the Sally Hansen Natural Shine Instant Nail Finish to make them shiny; it's the only thing that doesn't seem to do damage for me. :)

    I use Sally Hansen nail hardener, if I don't my nails will tear or break easily.

    My nails suck and I can't keep them long.  My nails are super-weak (so weak that they bend), so they constantly break off.  It looks pretty though, Katy!!

    I really like the silver idea, and you did a great job! 

    Unfortunately I am a violinist and am NEVER allowed to let my fingernails  have any of the white part at all.  When I was growing out my nails for the wedding last Spring I actually got into an intense argument with my violin professor.

    They look really good.  I can't have longer nails because I work in a kitchen.  And they are super paper thin!
