Meow, Nails That Roar and Purr

Inspired by the Louboutin Manicure, I am not patient enough to simply wait for my nails to grow. (Nor do I wish to have acrylics at the moment).

So I decided to dabble a bit with some colors and created a design to fit my playfulness- and I am quite delighted with my results.

A clear coat to begin- a few rather large dots of a tan or copper coating, and then finished off with some well placed black dots: you have leopard print nails that roar. Kitten has been a long time nickname of mine, and so it is only appropriate to make the move.

I love it, and its really rather simple (this is my first attempt and I think it came out rather well, especially as that is my right hand pictured just above). I played around a bit with the tan and copper- I think I like the copper better as it stands out more.

The nude underneath makes it more subtle I think. Another great option would be to put a brilliant red shade as the first coat and then the spots on top of it.

A white base would be fun too- or perhaps keep the clear base and make the tan/copper spots white spots instead- for that snowy look.

Even a royal blue may be a fun base for the daring and playful, for the special occasion of course. It will look great with a cocktail, not to mention those fun cocktail rings.

I think next time I may even add a pink flirtatious flair and have pale pink spots surrounded by the little black ones.

I will have to explore the rest of the animal kingdom as well- there have been a few giraffe print shoes and handbags I have been eying and I think matching it to the nails is just the thing.

So have a little fun and expand it to your liking- or keep it simple and see the attention you receive.

Here’s to pretty nails.

Louboutin Redefines Manicures For Nails

Louboutin is constantly finding new ways to be involved in my fashion world. And this time, from an unexpected source.

Miss Zoe Pocock of the exclusive Daniel Galvin Salon in London has introduced us to the Louboutin Manicure- simple, elegant, and sultry.

Pictured here from Grazia Magazine is the classic red beneath the shoe we all adore translated to the nails by being painted underneath. The top of the nails are black to match the shoe, though truly it can be done in any color to match whichever of Christian Louboutin’s shoes you may be wearing. So long as the red is in place you are ready to go.

I am anxious to try it myself, just as soon as my nails grow to a decent length again. In the meantime I am feeling quite inspired to play with some colors a bit on my own.
