So far I have not found the science & Konad nails attempt 16
This could of benefited from Natural LIGHT. Not dark stacks and I hate the flash. Couldn't take a photo until late and the kids were taking up all the walls along the windows. I could get a makeup shot in the light but not enough room for a full length. Too bad too because I really really liked this outfit.

Wide leg cuffed pleated jeans H&M (if you are gonna wear pleats they MUST be wideleg. Well in my book. And my book is the only one I read) included old photo below of them in the light
The nails. Oh the nails. I had come up with the idea to match my outfitish and I asked Dave for opinions at dinner. More as a concept what did he think because he had no colors to reference. (Yes we meet up in his hour before school and end up talking about my nails. I love his man)
My idea was light brown base with overlapping layers of brown and gold leopard spots. I like the result but I wish there was more contrast in the browns.
This is what it looked like before I added the gold. (and before I cleaned up my fingers)
The after proved hard to photograph. They are kinda hologramy (well yes that is what the gold was called) I took a few angles trying to show the layers.

I hadn't seen wide legged pleats before but I think your book is right, they're the only way to go if you're going to do them
I have to paint them at this point because
1. I am OCD and hate chips
2. They are so horrifically stained that I would be embarrassed to go without.
3. It takes under 5 minutes
4. I am just watching TV alone while the boy is at school.
Diana thanks I do them like that so I can just plug them into any post. Sometimes you are seeing a 4 month old or a brand new accessory shot. I just load them all into a set on flickr and pop them in when needed. hee.
Beck these were the first I had seen and while they go against everything you'd think I tell myself they are flattering.ha. That and the boy spent so long sewing those cuffs! ha.

cool nails, too. i don't have the patience for that kind of thing.
I just meant I wouldnt have the skills to be able to do it - therefore with me it would deffo need a lot of patience - but you,
your good at it - so I can see why it only takes you a short period of time - it would take me forever to get them to look that good!!
