You will probably be surprised by this post if you missed what I posted on Instagram yesterday. Well, I changed the shape of my nails! I’ve been going slightly more squoval recently, and I was just about to file them down, but then I decided to try an oval shape for a change. I’m actually enjoying them more than I thought I would, since I’ve never had anything but square or squoval before, and they should be fun to play around with; I’m hoping to try some different designs that may not have worked on my squares. :)
For my nail art today, I chose Essie Play Date as the base. I’ve been meaning to create some Pantone “Radiant Orchid” themed nails for while now, so I went through all of my purples, and Play Date stood out amongst the others. It’s a really lovely medium purple that leans a bit pink, and it applies effortlessly in two coats.

Unfortunately, I don't like this round shape...and it's really a shame, but a lot of the Bloggers I'm following changed their shape from square to round and I was like WTF...why? :D
ReplyDeleteBut it's your nails, so wear them as you like :)
(And it doesn't look bad, it's just that I like squares a lot better)
Thank you! I appreciate your comment. I think round / oval is very “trendy” right now. I’ll probably end up back with a square shape, but I think it’s fun to try a different shape. :)
DeleteNice nailart but hmm liked your old shape better. Have you seen Dior trianon 187?! <3
ReplyDeleteThank you! :)
DeleteI have! That whole collection looks beautiful. I’ve been trying to decide whether or not to get any of them, but 187 Perle is definitely interesting with the matte finish. I’m sure it’s so nice to layer over different colors, I would probably like to use it as a base for some negative space nails too! :)
Youve changed the comment! So much better now! :)
ReplyDeleteThank you for letting me know! :)
DeleteSo adorable. Really cute!!
ReplyDeleteThank you so much! :)
DeleteHi! I follow you on Instagram from quite a while and I love your nail art so I decided to look up for your blog for a detailed description of your manis. So here I am from now on!
ReplyDeleteHi Manases Andrea! Welcome to my blog, and thank you for following! :)
DeleteAhh, no your square nails were the epitome of perfection for me! Eh, I know I'll see them again and as they are your nails after all. =)
ReplyDeleteDon’t worry, I am already back to squovals :) .. I think they photograph much nicer than my oval nails, but I really loved them in person!
