colored tips manicure - no purchase necessary!

I did this manicure yesterday, using a grayish/blue nail polish as the base and dark purple for the tips. They were both nail polishes that I already owned, so no hit to the budget here! My husband would be proud, not that he noticed on his own that my nails were even painted differently!


I was experimenting with how color on color would look on my nails, and I think it turned out pretty good! I painted my nails with a couple coats of the ‘gunmetal’ nail polish a couple days ago, so it would have plenty of time to be nice and hard. 

Then yesterday, I put manicure stickers (you know, the ones you get with the French manicure sets, they come in straight across and curved), the straight across kind, on the nails and painted the tips purple. (Yep, I already had the stickers too!) I let them dry and finished up with a clear top coat. It’s a little bold, but I’m really liking it!
