Gold and Blue Manicure Inspired by @Bergdorfs

I like to have fun with my nail colours and manicures and I am not afraid to wear crazy colours. I noticed while watching Pretty Little Liars (don't judge me), Hanna had a black and red manicure which I thought looked pretty awesome. While living in Korea I saw many girls who painted each nail a different colour, something I have never tried but plan on doing so in the near future. The other day @Berdorfs tweeted this photo and I fell in love with her manicure.

I decided to give it a try on my own nails using a gold polish from Joe Fresh and a metallic blue from a Korean brand called The Face Shop.

Here is how it turned out

My gold isn't quite as powerful as I'd like and it looks even more subtle and washed out in this photo than it is in real life but I was working with what I had.

What do you think?

I think the gold looks pretty good. I really like the navy with it! I bought some gold nail polish the other day and its horrific. Seems like its really hard to find a decent one!

I love this! And so happy to see that it's coming round to being fashionable. I've been doing it for years for my job. I always have a different color on each nail :)

Fun! I've never even considered a different color nail but this is wicked cool! I was noticing the Katy Perry crackle line from OPI earlier today, thought that was cool too!

Hell yes, Pretty Little Liars. I may have advanced degrees from prestigious schools, but that doesn't mean I don't love my trashy teen tv! As for this manicure, I think it's darling!

Ashley said...

I like the idea, but not with these colors! Probably because they were my high school colors...the combo of blue & gold will permanently be embedded into my mind as something to avoid. Damn you, high school.

Love it, darling!

i'm loving your polish! it looks wonderful!

cathy. said...

Oooh those are cute! I think the Bergdorfs gold nail is that foil thing you stick on.. Probably why it's so metallic.

1. I love watching Pretty Little Liars too so no judgment!

2. I've seen this nail look on quite a few celebrities and have been obsessed with it too. And I've kind of been wanting to try to ombre nails look too.

3. Your colors look awesome together!
