School Girl Nails






I've been wanting to try doing a plaid pattern on my nail for a while now so when I found my old uniform at my dad's house I took a picture of the skirt.  Free-handing this was harder than I though.  I thought about using tape when I began but that would have doubled the time I already don't have enough of.  I do actually kind of like how the lines aren't too straight.  The only thing that kind of got me was I began with doing a base of green/blue/green/blue lines, but I wound up accidentally washing out the base pattern, so the base appears to be all blue.  I still think it's pretty cool and I'm planning on a cute Christmas colored plaid when that season rolls around.  I used all Sinful Colors polishes with the exception of the black.  Thanks for stopping by!!

    1. Yeah as much as I hated wearing a uniform at the time, now as an adult I think the kids look so cute and polished in a uniform. I would always look forward to the "free dress" days lol.

    You did a great job on this, especially for freehanding. They look pretty much straight to me lol. Those polishes are really bright and opaque too!
