Of accent nails and bad layers.


What does one do if one can’t decide between two polishes? One wears both! At least that’s what I decided I’d do when I couldn’t decide between OPI Did it on ‘em and NOPI Ladies in the Limelight, and so I put Ladies in the Limelight on my ring finger as an accent nail.
About accent nails. I have seen people have two accent nails now, the pointer and the middle finger. I don’t know what you think about that, but I think it’s ugly. Also, it’s weird – the pointer and the middle finger are used for both vulgar gestures as well as the peace sign, which can is the same as the scouts greeting and to show your affinity towards Star Trek. The ring finger on the other hand isn’t used for any gestures at all, it’s only there to show off a big chunky wedding ring or a big chunky ring or any other ring or nothing at all. Somehow somewhere in this explanation of the designated usage of fingers lies the answer to why I don’t like the new accent nail trend, but I can’t quite put my finger on it. Pun intended.

Anyhow. OPI Did it on ‘em and NOPI Ladies in the Limelight; I used 2 coats of each.

I was bored with it. I admit it. Unfortunately, I don’t think I made quite the best layering choice here:

 Actually I know for certain that I didn’t make the right layering choice. As pretty as lynnderella Connect the Dots and Nail-venturous Floam are, together they don’t make a pretty pair. Two awesomes don’t make one breathtaking,thatI’ve learned.

  1. Thank you for showing your less than stellar mani! I get tired of seeing all the perfect manis on the blogs. I totally relate with wanting to try something, not liking it and also wearing it and not being a perfectionist!
