Girly Black Nail Polish

Hello, Dear Reader! Our picture poll has ended, and we have a resounding 65% majority who want one of each kind of picture, so you are going to keep me busy!

I went on a hunt for a Borghese collection I'm after today, and struck out. I saw they had $3 off the regular price on Borghese (another misplaced sale tag that was honored) , so I got a few I've had my eye on for a while. I needed some Borghese immediate gratification... Despite the fact that Borghese calls Notte Black, one of my acquisitions, a creme, one of the things that's made me want for some time it is that it has a really cool shimmer.

Since black can be hard to pull off on longer nails (it can look like Halloween very easily), I decided to see what I could do about making it girly. I looked through the Konad plates and selected M45's polka dot pattern for the tips and M56's pattern for the bow. Polka dots and a little ribbon with a bow - you don't get much more girly than that! I selected the colors based on what would show up over black. I decided I needed gold for the dots rather than silver because I needed to use white for the ribbon, and the silver and white may have muddied together a bit. Whether you like it or not, I believe I've succeeded in making a black polish on longer nails very, very girly!

Now you've seen the mani I finally got around to doing after swatching earlier today. I'm sure I'll have more in store for you tomorrow, Dear Reader. Until then, love and nail polish to you!
