Twinsie Tuesday: Non-Ring Finger Accent
10 Jul
Generally speaking, the ring finger and sometimes thumb are the most commonly accented nails. Today, we’re all digging a little deeper and stepping outside our comfort zones to do a mani with a different accent. I’ve chosen my middle and index fingers today.
I have to say, I like this manicure for January, but not so much for July. I didn’t even see the wintery theme until well after I’d done and photographed it. I wasn’t about to start over with a new mani to post for today, so here you go, winter in July. Kind of funny considering that half of the country is in the throws of a heat wave. Yuck! Maybe this was my subconscious yearning for cooler temperatures.
My base color is Essie Borrowed and Blue. I used Essie Lapis of Luxury for the polka dots and gradient. The “snowballs” are little, white studs. This was my first time using studs. While I’m not overly impressed, they’re a fun new medium for me and I’m looking forward to trying them again soon.
