While my new rounded nail shape still seems a bit foreign to me, I am totally loving the change. I think that lighter colors make the shape look nicest, so I thought I'd do a soft pink manicure to celebrate my "curves." Of course, I couldn't just leave it plain, so I jazzed it up with some studs and a faux splatter accent nail.

The studs are the 3mm black and white camo studs from Daily Charme. They come pre-splattered like this, aren't they so fun? I love that they are all different from each other, and they are just the right size too. Big enough to show the patterns, but not so big that they overwhelm the nail.
The splatter elements on my accent nail were freehanded using black and white to tie in with the studs.
While it was scary to make the change to round nails, I am really enjoying them. I love my squares and always will, but sometimes you gotta, you gotta, you gotta be fresh. ;)
Wow, Sarah I'm really loving that pink! It's super perfect for you new roundies. I recently reshaped mine, too. But mostly because I scratched my face on accident with the corner of my squovel nails! D: Those studs really tie the whole, edgy and soft look together. Nice mani!
ReplyDeleteLove the faux splatter! Did you use a dotting tool?
ReplyDeleteLove the splattered studs! So neat :)

ReplyDeleteI love your round nails! They look great on you. And I looove these colours, the studs, the overall mani so much! looks perfect as always!
ReplyDeleteOooh the studs are great, nice to come across something new!
ReplyDeleteI really like the round nails! If mine were long enough they would be round or stiletto. They just broke off again, though.
ReplyDeleteWow! I want your nail art!
ReplyDeleteI change to round nails for the Reinvention prompt the other day too. I am not sure if I like mine, but yours look great! I also adore those studs :D the accent nail is perfect! x
ReplyDeletelovely! I've had round (actually more almond shaped) nails for years and I can say with confidence that every color works with the shape :D
ReplyDeleteI love those studs!
ReplyDeleteGorgeous as always. Love those small black and white studs!
ReplyDeleteYour nails look great :) I have never been able to go with squared nails as the corners were too annoying lol. I like to feel smooth edges xx
ReplyDeleteOh, that's just great! The freehanded splatter is cool, I love the colours combo and the studs are totally awesome :D
ReplyDeleteThanks! I painted it freehand with a nail art brush though I imagine a dotting tool would work well, too.
ReplyDeleteI love the combination of pink and the black and white splatter accent!
