Embellished Ruffian Mani Inspired by Madeline Poole

Hi everyone! I have a mani I wore a few days ago to show you. It was something I saw when googling something - not quite sure what it was, or maybe I was on tumblr? I don't remember haha. Anyways, if you have heard of Madeline Poole, she has some great nail art!

This was inspired by one of her red ruffian manis with gold glitter pieces around the cuticle area. I liked it, but didn't fully love it until I did them on my own nails. They looked really good and really simple, so for those who want something simple and elegant with a tad bit of bling, you should definitely try this out!

For those who haven't tried a ruffian mani, or can't paint it onnice and round, I suggest using the same circle reinforcement stickers you would use for a half moon mani and stick it parallel to your cuticle and paint in the smaller bit of the mani. This is great for when your base colour is darker than your smaller area. The red I used was sheer, so there was no way I'd get away with painting it over black. If you want a tutorial, please let me know!

Enough jibber jabber, I only have one pic to show because I couldn't capture the exact red very well =/

Pretty cool yeah? I love it to bits, definitely something I would do again and perhaps in different colours! Think I need to try out more Madeline Poole stuff, they're so cool :) See you all in the next post!
