Sometimes I swear my post titles are just getting longer and longer and less and less interesting...
Oh well...
Today's nail art is another one that I did ages ago and that I just discovered in my un-posted file. I guess I need to check that folder more often.
Also, in case anybody hadn't already noticed the trend, a lot of my posts this month are old designs and posts that I hadn't quite gotten around to finishing. When I got back into blogging regularly at the beginning of last month, I actually got super organised and got myself a proper schedule and went though and finished or deleted all my old half-done posts, so this month is a lot of backlog of older stuff!
Anyway, I was really happy with the way this turned out. I love that red and the overall crisp look of the design. It's such a pity that looks like these aren't wearable for more than a day or two because the rhinestones keep chipping off.
I was heavily inspired by this manicure by lemmingspolish on Instagram and while it's not completely true to the original, I'm pretty happy with it. I feel it would have been much improved had it had flatter studs, like the original, as opposed to the rhinestones that I ended up using. But oh well, I didn't have any studs like that, so I guess I'll just have to buy some. :)

These nails were made using
Red Snapper by Sally Hansen Triple Shine (red, pictured)
Shade 26 by BC Company (beige base on leopard nails)
Unnamed Brown by Rubi Shoes (dark brown)
Black Out by Sally Hansen Xtreme Wear (black)
Rhinestone were craft ones from an arts and crafts store
The leopard print was topped with Face of Australia's Platinum and the rest were topped with Poshe's Super Fast Drying Top Coat
I talked a little bit about Platinum in my October Monthly Favourites, and I'm still really enamoured with it. I'm a big fan of matte designs, I feel like it makes everything look neater and crisper which is always a plus! :)
