icky french mani

any nail blogger that's been around more than a week knows most of them/us detest french mani's, well in the traditional sense. stark white, garishly long tips with pink beds? the horror! but, i like them. no, honestly, i LOVE them. you may recall seeing a post of mine about the Jerseylicious girls, and how much i cherish their re-donk-ulous acrylic nails. it's totally wrong haha i know, but what can i say?

anyway, a while ago my nails were HELLA long thanks to seche retain base coat/treatment (IT'S AMAZING) and i decided to see what a traditional frenchie would look like on me. honestly, my nails have never been this long before, and probably never will be again haha. it was awesome, but crazy.

i used maybelline's salon expert french tip white for the tips, free-handed then fixed with a brush and acetone.  then i covered the entire nail with china glaze's sheer pinky love letters polish. and of course added a squishy topcoat of seche vite. haha you like? as perez hilton would say, icky icky poo!

do you have any guilty pleasures when it comes to nails and/or nail art? spill!

jerseylicious nails

does anyone out there watch a little show called...

well i do. i know i know. it's a guilty pleasure. i can't stop! i am really sad that it won't be on for another two months. it's about a salon in jersey and all the ladies that work there. and i have to say i'm "team olivia" if you know what that means. i'm so addicted to talking jersey style and teasing my hair now LOL!

and...another side effect has become my huge lemming of tracy dimarco's (the blonde in the leopard print above) nails. they're acrylic "flair" type with dark pink and miles of white french style. they look like they're slightly bubbled up too.

it's a sickness. i neeeeeeeeeeed these nails! for no other reason but to fulfill the craving. i know they're horrendous. i know. but i had to share :D

the show is on the style network. if you don't watch but you like reality shows and hair, makeup, beauty, and a little drama ;) then you'll probably like this!
