Studded & Splattered

Pink Manicure with Splattered Studs

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.


Polishes used:
OPI Chic From Ears to Tail
Azature Camel Diamond
Essie Blanc
American Apparel Hassid

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. ;)

  1. 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!

  7. I really like the round nails! If mine were long enough they would be round or stiletto. They just broke off again, though.

  14. Thanks! I painted it freehand with a nail art brush though I imagine a dotting tool would work well, too.

  18. Your accent nail looks like an easter egg :D! You should do a full on pastel mani with the technique :D!
