Border Nails Taken Too Far
12 Sep
I hate when you take a mani one step too far and ruin the whole thing. Why did I add that hideous swirl?
I didn’t see this when I was doing it, but looking at the pictures now it looks like the silhouette of a cat’s tail against a big, full moon. Uh, yeah, I meant to do that. 
Border nails are hard! The ones I’ve done in the past were a different technique and were much easier, but also had a different look. They’re not really the same thing.
This look took me a lot longer than I felt like it should have. I might try this again some time in the future, but it definitely won’t be soon. I love the colors together though. The blue is Revlon Chic and the grey is Julep Brigitte. What do you think of my unintended cat, sort of Halloween-ish mani?
I think it’s fun, it looks kind of like the hill that Jack and Sally stood on in The Nightmare Before Christmas(which I love that movie!!). Before I even read your text, thats what I thought you were going for
Me too, I IMMEDIATELY thought of N.B.C.!!
Amanda and Stacy, I just watched that movie for the first time last year. I watched it to finally see what everyone was raving about. I don’t think I got it. It was alright, but I probably won’t ever watch it again. :/ I’m glad this design reminded you of your beloved movie though!
Now everyone is gonna think I’m crazy, but the swirl/curl thingie makes me think of the greaser hairstyles where the guys would pull down one curl in the very front.
I already thought you were crazy Jenna!
Ha ha! You know I’m kidding, right? I probably never would have seen a Superman curl in this if you hadn’t said anything, but I can totally see it now!
Hahah you make me laugh
Well since you meant it to look like that, I think it rocks! Actually, I’d love to see you do it again with black, orange, and green (or something of the sorts)!
Okay Tara, just for you, I’ll try again.
I like it! Maybe if you wouldve gone in with the swirl and made it more of a spiral swirl it would’ve been a bit better?
i love these. i cant wait to try it!
