Inspired by Tennies

Summer, a friend of mine at work yesterday was wearing these amazing sneakers and I was like "I have to put that on my nails!" I tried to match the colors as best I could with what I had. It's not as bright and vibrant as her shoes but it's close. (And ps...I got new flourescent bulbs in my kitchen and I hate them. It's totally changed the tone of my photos. They must be different than what I had before. Luckily we're moving soon and I will have a different set up.)

I used Lime Crime "Pastelchio" and Essie "In The Cab-ana". The glitter is Love, Angeline "The Shorter, The Better". I did a gradient on my index and pinky, and of course I had to do some chevron striping! I had finished all my nails and was just staring at my thumbs! I had no idea what to do with them and I had already painted them teal. So I decided to just throw a cloud mani on those suckers! And I actually really love how these turned out!









Inspiration is all around us!

    1. I'm in an apartment right now and the fluorescent lights in my kitchen were perfect but one of them burnt out so they replaced them and I think the new ones a warmer tone and no matter how I adjust my white balance it still comes off warm! Grrr. I'm moving next month and will be creating a different set up. I don't use a light box either, currently I just have a piece of white paper taped to the wall lol. When I move I'm gonna make a dumbed down version of a light box and use a desk lamp. Hopefully it will be how I like it.
