“Solid Colour Only” Nails!

A few weeks back: it was the end of NYFW, and I’d had my Stripe Nail Design on for 3 weeks.  My nails started to resemble talons, so I desperately wanted a fresh set.

But I called Sakura WAY too late to get an appointment.  It was completely and utterly my own fault — I should know by now that you need to call at least a week in advance (if not earlier) to get an appointment for nail art.

The ONLY way I could get in that weekend was if I got — gasp! – a SINGLE COLOR.

But I was desperate. I told myself it would be good for me.  Take it back to the old school, HP. So I took the appointment…

I had something specific in mind: a pinky/brown nude color.  So I asked them to mix 2 of the Calgel colors to get something close to what I wanted.

But of course, once I was there, I HAD to get SOMEthing special…

Luckily, Hitomi was able to squeeze me in to help.  I wanted black ovals on my cuticles, so she used Black Acryllic Paint to draw them in.

Here’s the finished product!
