Cherries Nails

30 May

One of my favorite things about summer time is cherries. I love cherries; especially Bing! I had an idea to do a cherry mani a while ago. I was needing some inspiration today, so I went to my “To Do” list and decided to bust this one out.

It was actually pretty simple, just took some time. I’m sorta bugged that my ring finger looks a bit like an apple rather than a close up cherry. I guess, if you took a close up picture of a cherry, it would look like an apple though. This mani just makes me happy. They’re cheery cherries! 🙂

I started with NYX Girls White as my base. It’s a really thin white. It took four coats to get descent coverage. The only plus to a super thin formula like that is that I didn’t get any bubbles in those four coats. My cherries are China Glaze Velvet Bow and OPI Black Cherry Chutney. My polka dots are China Glaze Starboard and the stems are a mix of Starboard and Finger Paints Sketchy Character. I topped it all off with Poshé.

Cute! You have any ideas what I should do for the dirty dash?

  Thanks Jess! The Dirty Dash is basically a muddy run, right? The first thing that came to mind is a dripping mani. Or do they have a logo you could do? Maybe both?
