In honor of Queen Elizabeth II's 60 year a few of us nail bloggers decided to celebrate on our nails! We all used different combinations of British brand nail polishes to create a British Day Jubilee Manicure. For mine, I started with butter LONDON Slapper and then sponged on a gradient of a-england Princess Tears.I started out liking it a great deal, but as it set and dried the Princess Tears changed colors! It ended up looking more like Princess Sabra/Tristam's Tears.
Then I got the bright idea to add a bit of art... I used Konad plate m40 and Konad Special Polish in White to put a crown on my left ring finger. Of course, I only had one crown, because there is only one Queen ;) But, again, I couldn't stop there. I added a little square rhinestone that had an AB finish (kinda hard to see in the picture :/) that I applied in a fashion that we in the jewelry industry would call kite set to the center point of the crown to mimic a diamond ;)
I must admit, I'm not in love with this manicure. What do y'all think?
Thanks & Gig 'em!
P.S. Make sure to check out the rest of the fabulous bloggers celebrating the Diamond Jubilee!

ReplyDeleteI have to ask...what nail polish are you wearing in the header picture of your blog?...because I have to have that...it is stunning!!
Thanks, Kelly!
DeleteThe mani in my header is one of my all time favs, too! It's a base of Essie Jazz with butter LONDON Tart with a Heart on top :)
Hey! I love this mani, A-England are some of the best quality polishes I find. Also, I was just wondering, how do you get involved with collaborations such as this one, I'd love to take part!
