reverse french manicure

 I have officially become addicted to the

gel manicure . I love that the color doesn't chip

for at least two weeks & that bubble-looking 

gloss I can never seem to do painting my nails at home
that the gel mani provides .

three gel manicures in a row later , my nails

are somewhat back to normal ( only negative

side effect of the gel : my nails are now thin & brittle ) .

while I have the chance to experiment with nail polish

before I get my next gel manicure treatment , I decided

to play around with the idea of a reverse french manicure :

[ essie : mucci gucci pucci ]

[ 1st : use a white polish to paint the top portion of

nail white - shape / sloppiness does not matter ]

[ 2nd : using second color ( mucci gucci pucci ) , paint 

over half of white section & bottom of nail ]

[ 3rd : many coats later ... ]

[ finished product - I think it's pretty darn cute ! ]
