A Basic French Manicure - with gel nail polish!

I love French manicures. They are so classy and go with
e v e r y t h i n g. If I could have a French manicure everyday, I would, but it takes a lot of concentration to make it look nice. For this, I used gel nail polish. This manicure was supposed to stay on for 2 weeks without chipping. This stayed on for 5 weeks. 5 WEEKS! Without chipping! I was soo happy with the results.

Don't mind the little scab on my index finger, I cut it when I was grooming my cuticles! :p

So good. 

I used 2 coats of Harmony gelish Gel Nail Polish #01422 Little Princess for the base. For the white tips, I used one coat of Harmony gelish Gel Nail Polish #01323 Sleek White. I just brushed it on the tips of my nails. This was a really good investment, and I was so happy with the results.

30 Day NBA Challenge Day #1-LA Lakers

So it's day 1 of the 30 day challenge. The Los Angeles Lakers.

Two of their official colors are purple and gold, so I did a gold mani with purple tips, and I loved the result! I might even keep this mani on until next week :)

First, for the gold base, I used 2-3 layers of Sephora by OPI Rumba Romance. I really like this nail polish, it went on so smooth, and there are so many different shades of it in person. I think you can be able to see some of the shades in the pictures.

Then, I did purple tips using scotch tape and NYC Purple Pizzazz Frost.

This one's my favorite picture :p
