Emerald gem nails


Haven't blogged in a while. Once again, uni!! However, I have this week to look forward to as I am attending my first hen do in London. The theme is Hollywood Glamour 1950s.

I'm not sure what dress I'll be wearing. I had a few choices before the theme was put into place; now I have to rethink it all over again! 
I had done these nails a week ago perfect for the Hollywood theme. They are still in place with the exception of the thumb nail which pinged off when I was unbuckling seatbelt buckle of the car and wedged inside for a little while...


I was eating strawbs at the time and thought my nails looked cute as the leafy part 8-)
Some people think it's just one ready made crystal emerald but the edges of the emerald are all individual gems, including the little gold balls which are a pain to apply because they're 1mm wide.
After doing my nails, I wanted to get some earrings to go with and came across Angelina Jolie with her oh so beautiful $2.5 million emerald earrings and ring by Lorraine Schwartz.

  2. So pretty! Do you do this on acrylic or gel nails, or on your natural nail?

    @ Perdita~Took me 30minutes each hand, a little longer on the right hand because i'm right handed~

    @Diana~ On my natural nails, I only tried gel nails once before and I didn't like them when they grew out and the damage it did to my nails~
