Nails of the Week.
I love the summer trend of white nails, but I’d never had the guts to try it myself, for a few reasons. Firstly, because white nails tend to look best on those with a tan or darker skin tones, and secondly, because white nails run the risk of looking chalky and like white out.
But I finally decided to try it out, and though it feels like autumn outside, it’s still technically summer (until the 22nd), so I thought I could get away with it. After this, I think I’m switching to more traditional fall nail colors, like deep reds, burgundies, and jewel tones, but for this week I’ll make the most of happy bright summer colors.
After painting my nails with a few coats of OPI’s Alpine Snow, I was happy with the result, but felt they needed a little something extra. Or maybe I was just a bit bored and had some time on my hands. Either way, I decided to experiment and do a bright, stripey accent nail on each hand. On my left hand, I used Essie’s Mint Candy Apple, and on my right, Maybelline’s Love Me Lavender. I think the result is so fun and cheerful. I feel like it’s still summer every time I see my nails! :)
