C’est La Vie: Zoya Shelbie, Sally Hansen White On, Essie Licorice
Today’s mani evolved all on it’s own. I started with a base of two coats of Sally Hansen White On, a pure white. Then I grabbed Zoya Shelby, a girly pink favorite, and my new striping brush and striped each nail. After that…my nails had a boutique-y Paris vibe. Who could deny that?! So I freehanded a quick (unintentionally abstract and sturdy, bottom heavy) Eiffel Tower in Essie Licorice. I finished with a matte topcoat since it seemed appropriately chic!
Unfortunately I took all the pics without first changing the settings on my camera (the night before we were taking late-night, outdoor, poorly-lit carved pumpkin pictures on the front porch). So this is the one and only shot. Perhaps it’s for the better. Now when I look at my Eiffel Tower…it looks more like a buoy or a lighthouse or maybe the Avengers logo perched on an aquaduct. LOL! C’est la vie!

Rest assured I recognized the Eiffel Tower instantly!!!! Love the mani :-)

This is so stinking cute! Love it!
I’m SO impressed! Love this look. Can you please come over and free hand a skeleton head on my nails? I’ll provide wine. Thanks!
Curiosly…when I tried to recreate the Tower on my right hand…it could probably pass as a skeleton. LOL! Course, I’m sure wine would only improve my performance!
this is so cute! love that shade of pink too!

Thanks!
When I saw these nails I was like, “Hey… Is that an aqueduct? Wait… The avengers logo is on top of it!!” These look great and your striping is so good!!! Mine is NOT this good freehanded. Color me jealous. :)
Looks great! Any striping brush recommendations?
