Blogging some of the most magical manicures in the game—all inspired by her favorite pieces at OC—beauty contributor Taryn (aka MISS LADYFINGER) is back!
Talk about a show-stopping shoe! If the lipstick red and white flower-shaped beads don't capture your heart, the lucite heel on the Peter Pilotto nicholas kirkwood floral heels will. It certainly nabbed mine in last week's Most Wanted post, which is why it serves as my latest nail inspiration.
To emulate, you'll need:
1 dotter tool. Alternatively, you can use a bobby pin.
1 thin nail art brush
Red polish, I used Gia by Zoya
Maroon polish, I used Sole Mate by Essie
White polish, I used Nail Art Duo by Color Club
Top coat
