Sinful Colors – “24/7”

Inspiration for this design came from Michaela’s instagram post of her gift bag. Smile

This was a complete accident, albeit a pretty one.

I was testing out a nail decal method and folded the paper in half because I wanted to start over. But when I saw the effect on the paper, I immediately had to try it on my nail. So I smashed the paper onto my nail bed, and…..

…loved it! Now I wish I had done this with no-chip polish. Smile

It was simple too. Just messy, lol. Just like a water marble.

My iPhone needs its own “case closet”. Like a shoe rack. Or a wardrobe.

I didn’t realize the extent of my foolishness until I received my new case in the mail… that I forgot I had ordered… because I already had 6 cases that I wasn’t using. And yes, I have had my new iPhone for approximately 3 (count them: one, two, three..) weeks.

But I NEEDED this case!!!

Okay, okay. I know “need” is relative.
This gave me the perfect motivation to try out this “border nails” nail trend in the process.

I started with China Glaze – “White On White”

I didn’t have a perfect color match to the case’s pink trim. So, I made my own. *shrugs*
I blended an even ratio (1:1) of Sinful Colors – “Boom Boom” & “24/7” and used a size “0” nail art brush to outline my nail.

I knew it was a completely successful manicure when the cashier at Whole Foods commented that she loved how my nails matched my phone! Nail art wins again :-).
