Burberry...a high fashion mani

So a little while back, I wore this mani for an interview, I thought a nice clean simple nude colour will look sophisticated and professional and be appropriate for this kind of occasion. 

"Topless and Barefoot" Essie

But after the interview I was itching to make it more...interesting! On the same week I had received some striping tapes I ordered online, so...inspired by the signature plaid print of Burberry... I made this...

Personally I really love Burberry's trench coats (and I hope to own one soon!). And I like how they keep things classy by not plastering their designer print on every item they make/design.

I decided to just use the design as an accent nail to keep it understated, like Burberry does =)

And then after a few days I spiced it up with a flakie gradient

"Pink Twinkle" Covergirl and "Topless and Barefoot" Essie

Oh and did I mention that I met George Craig ( the guy that modeled for Burberry with Emma Watson) on Vogue's Fashion Night Out this year? That was pretty awesome =)

What's your favourite designer brand?

A V-ery Nude French Mani

Please excuse my lame title..i couldn't help myself hehehe =)
I've been wearing a lot of dark colours on my nails lately, so i decided to change it up a bit and give my nails a bit of a breather.
So here's what i came up with..

Maybelline Colorama Ballerina and Cold as Ice, Essie Topless & Barefoot

A V-Shaped french mani! I used Maybelline mini Colorama in Ballerina for the base. Ballerina was really sheer so it didn't really add any colour to my nail. Then i used Essie Topless & Barefoot and a striping brush to create the V shaped french tips.
Finally I used Maybelline Colorama Top Coats in Cold as Ice to add that extra sparkle!

As usual, I got bored of it after a few days and decided to spice it up with OPI white shatter. I kinda did it in a rush so the V's aren't that straight.

OPI White Shatter

I think i might do more french mani's with shatter. What do you think?
