Hand painted lace design inspired by The Illustrated Nail. Her work is insane!
I used Essie School Of Hard Rocks for the base color and SinfulColors Black On Black for the lace.
MANICURE MUSE: Balenciaga AW’12
Prepare those resumes, ladies. At Balenciaga, Inc. intergalactic sweatshirts are the required uniform- at least for the IT girls (as in Information Technology)- and it seems there is something for us all. “It’s an idea I’ve had for a few years, about corporate clothes, and business-dressing. I wanted to play with it. So I imagined a company, Balenciaga, Inc., and what all the different women would wear to work there,” explained Nicolas Ghesquière. I’m torn between the “Join a Weird Trip” sweatshirt and the liquid shine animal print 80s pullover, but in this world it all comes down to the ladyfinger at hand.
To emulate this look, I used Bruton Street by Nails Inc. and Royal by Love & Beauty.
To get these ladyfingers:
1. Paint your full nail a dusty pale pink
2. Using a small paint brush, paint on a high-shine blue replicating an animal print
3. Seal it with Seche Vite’s Fast Dry Top Coat
