Princess Jasmine Nails

Here's another experimentation/variation on the French manicure! I felt all princess-y with this manicure and it totally reminded me of Jasmine for some reason (maybe to do with her blue dress). Super simple to do:

1) Base coat (I used Essie Fill the Gap)
2) 2 coats of China Glaze For Audrey
3) 1 coat of French tip using Revlon Silver Screen
4) Add another layer of French tip (thicker than the previous) using Julep Paris
5) Fasy-drying/high-shine top coat (I used Seche Vite)

And remember, I'm a total beginner when it comes to nails, so if I can do this so can you! It's not perfect, but I've come to realize we're usually our own most critical judge.  It's about the "feeling" your nails give YOU. Enjoy!

Beginner Nail Art: Leafy French

I have recently taken an interest in nail art and so decided to post some here on this blog in a beginner nail art series.  By the way, when I say "beginner", I do not mean that I'm some nail art expert here to teach beginners how to do nail art! By "beginner", I mean that I myself am a complete newbie and beginner to this, and am sharing my adventures and designs in a way to say: hey, if a complete newbie like me can do this, so can you!
