prime idea




You know that feeling when you are feeling particularly inspired? Well, for some reason that was missing the last three or four times I did my friends nails...to make matters worse, as soon as I would finish hers and send her away, I would be struck with a fabulous idea and paint it on my own nails. I suppose you could call it a case of bad timing. Anyway, this design was my redemption. We actually got the idea from my friend's Vera Bradley laptop case. Using the basic design and colors I pulled bits and pieces I liked from it to paint on each nail. 


After applying one coat of butter LONDON nail foundation flawless basecoat, I applied one coat of Union Jack Black. Next using Cream Tea, Cheeky Chops, Come to Bed Red, and Blagger, I painted the strips and designs on each nail. Finished off with butter LONDON topcoat for a glossy shine. Fortunately for me, she seemed to like these ones, and I liked them much better than the last few we had done. Hope you all have a lovely week!
