Vespa Does Nail Art Sometimes

[vespadoesnailart]

Roommate challenged me to recreate the nailart linked below, "but with flakies and a matte topcoat", so this is my attempt. It's far from perfect (the snowflakes are much chunkier, and the background is overall lighter, and it's also obviously messier, haha), but I'm pretty pleased with it!

This gorgeous gold metallic glitter polish (with some lovely and subtle holo glitter) was an early Christmas present from my roommate-- how could I not pop it on my accent nail? The other polish I've got on looks a lot more green in real life :p

So excited to be a part of this week’s NOTW!

I’ve spent weeks carefully growing out my fingernails, keeping them shaped beautifully and making sure they stayed nice and smooth and even, and tonight I had to cut them because I have realized that long fingernails get in the way of mandolin playing.

So I got my first matte top coat recently, and I am LOVING it! I love how soft and subtle it looks, and using matte'd flakies over blue gives me a perfect wintery ice look! I think I'll be playing with variations on this for the next few weeks! :D
