And so to my first post of 2013. Unfortunately starting it with an awful nail breakage, which isn't very aesthetically pleasing, so I apologise!
I've been meaning to do a stud manicure ever since I saw it on The Nailasaurus, but I kept putting it off because it looked so fiddly and difficult. Turns out it IS fiddly, but not difficult. The only problem I had was that when I applied topcoat, it made the colour in the studs run. Anybody else have this problem? Without topcoat, they don't stay put for 5 minutes!
I used OPI Thanks a Windmillion, and all the studs are from Born Pretty Store (you can use my code LGL91 for 10% off)
Ugh, that stumpy nail is gross. I hate having a nail with no free edge!
Now I'm off to start a rain dance or something to make my nail grow.
This is so pretty! And I feel your pain about the short nail...I HATE getting a break on my swatching hand especially!
ReplyDeleteGorgeous. :)
ReplyDeleteI love this and I hope your nail grows quickly. But please, PLEASE, whatever you do, do NOT do a rain dance! We don't need more in 2013! ;-)
ReplyDeleteHaha you're right...I'll stick to regular old witchcraft!
DeleteThe studs look fab!
