MANICure Monday: Black Tips

January 28, 2013 by Alisha 19 Comments

Join in the fun by linking up with Mimi from Lipgloss and Binky and Lynn from LALynnsShoppe for their Manicure Monday!

This week’s mani was inspired by a pic I came across on Pinterest from Ooooh, Shines! Blog. I decided to give it the old college try and recreate something similar. I started off by painting 2 coats of Essie’s Ms Smarty Pants. For my skin tone this is a great neutral.

Next I applied “Perfect Tips” french polish guide tape to the tips of my nails and placed a thin coat of black polish. After about 5 minutes polished the tips with a quick dry clear polish before I removed the tape.

Check out this cute alternative to a traditional French manicure.

        oh that is one of my pet peeves – chipping. Isn’t it all of ours though? I want to try the gel color but then again I am changing my color every few days anyhow, so why am I complaining haha

      Thank you! I wish more companies would realize that “nude” polishes don’t work on all skin tones and make a variety of them so I don’t have to go searching high and low. LOL

    The nude with black tips look is so chic. And that color definitely compliments your skin so well. Love the whole thing!

    Love this. Saw it on Pinterest a few times, but never as a DYI project. I am impressed, lady!

    I know. I’m extra late. Love this. Did you free hand the tips or did you use tape. If you free handed you’re a showoff!!!
