Cinderella: Who Dunnit?

Standard

This weekend I got to dress up like a modern day Cinderella for a fairy tale murder mystery party. This means I got to wear my tiara, at long last (I have one from my Disney Princess half marathon!). My main motivation as a suspect in the murder of Goldilocks (gasp!!) was that I loved my new lifestyle, and would do anything to protect my beloved shoes! I thought a classy yet blingy manicure would fit this Cinderella perfectly! 20130106-173743.jpg I really love this! I’m sort of considering something like this for my wedding! What do you think? Also, don’t mind my little booboo (ouch!) on my ring finger. 20130106-173848.jpg I’m back at it with Essie. I used: Butler Please, Turquoise and Caicos, and Marshmallow to create the gradient, using a makeup sponge. Then I topped it all off with Sephora by OPI It’s Rel 18k Gold Topcoat. I also used a heart rhinestone. Next time I might use some nail glue instead of topcoat to stick the rhinestone on – for some reason, topcoat makes it kind of milky and less sparkly. I think the little heart is cute! 20130106-174122.jpg I felt like a princess without going the pumpkin/glass slipper route. Plus, that topcoat has real gold in it! How luxurious (and crazy!). I think I may try some more gradients as practice for the wedding. I want to have a classy look – but I don’t want it to be boring! Plus, I can do gradients pretty quickly and easily, so I won’t be stressed out about creating the perfect design. What do you think? Would you do your own wedding nails, or get them did?
