Today's mani was inspired by Very Emily, one of my favourite nail artists. It's all freehand and all Rimmel and acrylics. I loved this surprising colour combo and I knew I would recreate the mani the moment I saw it. For the tribal-ish design, I started with white base, made teal and violet chevron stripes and finished it with black tribal details.

I love wearing this and I took it off after more than a week. I tend to wear my manis for so long these days! And then I'm not as productive as I used to be, oh yes.
If you needed any tips on making your mani last, let me know, cause I feel like I'm really good at this now :D.
And, take care!
Hi Margee, maybe you could do a post on long-lasting mani's?? I've figured out a few tips and tricks myself over the years, but I do long for some variety and so I change my polish every 3-4 days. I hear that's a "long" time for some people, though! I love your tribal tribute today!
ReplyDeleteLove this color combo!
ReplyDeletethank you! :)
ReplyDeletethanks for your comment Cat! 5 days used to be really long for me, now it's more like 10 days :D I'm so busy these days, I don't even think about my nails and somehow they last and last... I started eating minerals (Ca, Zn, Mg), maybe that's what helped, I take the same kind of care as I always did otherwise :)
ReplyDeleteAppreciate your bblog post
