The girl at the salon looked at me with a funny face when I showed her this :
It's a page from IN STYLE's January 2011 issue.
They are Vena Cava's runway nails.
She laughed a little when I told her I wanted my nails like that.
For a moment I think she thought I was joking.
The thing is, well, I wasn't :)
We used:
+
Essie's Eternal Optimist and Vogue's Onyx.
Since I had them done, I have had people give me the odd look and
ask me if I "smashed" my fingers.
Honestly speaking I love them.
The fact that I have not seen anyone I know sporting these
make me love their smashed uniqueness even more !

You're a trailblazer! An adventurous woman out there on the dangerous frontier of fashion! I admire your courage!
I love them!!! I would like to do mine that way as well. Was there a template that you used to not go too far up with the black? I tried to do the opposite with the black on top and I didn't do a good job at all. LOVE LOVE LOVE
I've been thinking about creating a similar look with mint green and yellow nail polishes, but never had enough time to mess around.
Your nails look gorgeous!
There was a salon in NYC that was doing that pre Vena Cava. I almost went for it but, it was such a trek just for a mani... I really like the way it came out!
i tried this when i was in my nail phase. blogged about it. i got me those stencils now but i'm already out of that phase.
they are awesome. i bet people gave funny looks to who ever came up with the french manicure as well.
Chic on the Cheap
