I found my salty soulmate on the internet. Cate from @allthegreenpolish is my grouchy-pants bff forever. A few weeks ago she sent a picture of the top she was wearing, saying that it would make a good manicure. I happened to be nekkid-nailed at the time, so I made it happen. Somehow, I accidentally made birch paper nails at the same time.
Colors Used
China Glaze White on White
China Glaze Liquid Leather
NYC Sidewalkers
NYC Taxi Yellow
NYC Cashmere Creme
It honestly looks nothing like her top. The blue I used was the right color...but the wrong opacity. Oh well...I still kinda like it. We were supposed to do "bfftwinzzzz nails"*
So cute!
ReplyDeletethanks :D
DeleteUh oh...I still haven't done this. I am the flakiest of flakes. Maybe tonight....if you know, I don't pass out on the couch instead. It's been a rough week, don't judge me!
ReplyDeletetotally judging you.
DeleteCate. You flaking flaker.
ReplyDeletehahah YES
DeleteHahaha way to flake Cate! 😝
ReplyDeleteEven if they didn't turn out as you expected they still look great!!
Thanks! And I love that now EVERYONE knows shes a flakity flake. I still love her, but still...
DeleteYou didn't even have to say anything and I was like "Oh wow, those birch trees are great." :P Speaking of birch, the first smartphone I bought, I texted my husband about someone bi*ching about something or another and it corrected to "birch". Made no sense but I laughed like a loon. :P
ReplyDeletehahaha. I remember when I got the smart phone...so many lolz!
DeleteOoooh this is super cool and modern. I like that you picked a softer yellow.
ReplyDeleteI'm glad Cate stopped being a flakey flaker. These are super cute though! I think they both turned out fabulous!
ReplyDeleteright?! She's the flakiest flaker that ever flaked.
DeleteLol love this mani. Great job girls!
ReplyDeletethank ya kindly!
DeleteDon't you love when you can use the interwebz for good, like pressuring a bestie into doing things? Cute idea!
ReplyDeletepeeeerrrr pressure!
DeleteThis looks so pretty! I actually think it was a success that the blue wasn't more opaque! :)
ReplyDelete:D Thanks!
DeleteHaha I'm always the flake when it comes to bestie nails and let my girl wait so long XD Love the way these turned out!
ReplyDeletethere always has to be a flake. It keeps the balance in the universe!
DeleteThese DO look like birch nails :D love it though!
ReplyDeletethanks :D
DeleteBoth looks are great!
ReplyDeleteI think they'll do
DeleteLmao at birch paper nails :P They still look pretty damn cool to me!
ReplyDeleteHaha thanks!
DeleteThese turned out really pretty! The first time I read this post your friend hadn't done her nails yet, so I'm glad to see now that you didn't have to wear your nails alone. I would totally be the one to suggest twinsie nails and then forget, which is exactly way I've never done them with anyone yet :P
ReplyDeleteAll it took was a little internet shaming to get her in the mood...;-)
DeleteYou post had me giggling all the way through. I know it's not the look you were going for but it still looks fantastic!
