Vanity Fair Hollywood Cover Inspired Nails

I bought the latest Vanity Fair mag the other day. I just love the Hollywood fold out cover editions. The nails and polish are inspired by this beautiful cover.

I started off with Fing'rs California girl short length nails with black and floral design tips.

The length of these nails are so natural looking and comfortable. However, I'm all thumbs when it comes to applying them. They are so short and I can't grab them and put them on without getting air bubbles. Ugh! But I love the length and design so I came up with a solution. More on that in a moment.

As I said above, I got inspired by the Vanity Fair Hollywood edition magazine cover.  The actresses and their dresses are just gorgeous. I love the 1940's feel to the design of the dresses and cover. Rooney Mara's black bob is striking with her pale pink dress. And that's what gave me inspiration when I was faced with 8 fingers of air bubbles.

I took Confetti Dreamdate and added a layer over the nail beds, avoiding the floral design. Then with Wet n Wild Hallucinate, I covered the floral designs, avoiding the black tips as much as possible. By doing this the air bubbles are much less noticeable.

What do you think of my nails? Don't you just love the cover design? Where do you find inspiration?

French Tips with a Twist

 I always feel better when my nails look pretty.

I'm sure I'm not alone in this feeling. Am I?

Nothing much new has happened since my last post. We're still looking for a home to buy. Still living in hotels. And I'm still biting my nails because of all the stress.

I wore these nails, probably when I first bought them and before I starting blogging.

I can't find them in my blog post list.

Before we left our old home and started on this adventure, I consolidated my fake nails collection.

These Broadway Color Changing Nails are a really cute idea. I believe when I wore them before, they didn't change color in the sun. I had put a clear top coat over them and thought maybe that had affected their ability to change.

Now these are at least 2 years old, and I don't know if they're change color.

I'll let you know tomorrow.
UPDATE: They did not change color today, out in the sun. Bummer.

Without Flash

I chose these to put on tonight because the black swirly design on the white french tips. 

Their length is short.

I think they look natural and cover my nubbins, which makes me happy.

What do you think of my french tips with a twist?
