NOTD: Diva Inspired

This NOTD was inspired by Danielle over at The Diva's Polish, who got her inspiration from this youtube tutorial by The Queen Eileen. I decided to go with a little bit of a stronger blue than either of them used, China Glaze Sky High Top from the Custom Kicks collection. Nail art required a liner brush & a dotting tool & I used Misa Dying Love. I am loving this mani:


And actually super-easy to do. I forgot to take some pics of my right hand but it looks just as nice even though I had to do the nail art with my "off" hand. Really, if you have a hand steady enough to do a normal manicure, your hand is steady enough to do simple nail art like this - a couple of really simple moves for an awesome final product.

Thanks for reading =)

    I love how you did this nail art. gorgeous blue and accurate and delicate stripes :-) maybe I'll try it too - even though my nails are much shorter.
    also congrats on all the new hauls :-) can't wait to see some swatches...

    Wonderful manicure, Colette. Seems like just the thing to spice up jeans or a casual outfit. Fun!

    Oh Collette, I apologise - I can NEVER keep up with my blog comments and I've bitten off way more than I can chew. I love your mani THE BEST. Sky High Top looks fantastic with the black! I am definitely going to do mine again with Sky High. The three dots make it. Beautiful xx
