OPI Metal 4 Life & Deborah Lippmann Lady Sings the Blues with White Roses

Wowee, it's been a long time since I've made a post. I'm in my last semester for uni and I'm working part time too, so getting exhausted heaps :( I also don't paint my nails so often anymore 'cause of work - sad indeed.

With the time I do have, I really try to squeeze in some nail art time cause I miss sitting down and painting my nails for hours! This design was the closest I could get to quality nail art time (hehe). I decided to use 2 colours I haven't really used yet (except for one I wore on my toes) and did a gradient with them. Mind you, both colours were dark, so it is quite subtle.

I went for the 'negative' space on the nail, so some of them are showing about 1/3 of natural nails embellished with rhinestones, studs and microbeads, while the accent fingers are full colour and finished off with some white roses. I really like how they look together, so instead of explaining what they look like, I will just have to show you!

My nails are really long now! They were a bit longer than this before, but I trimmed it down a bit and now it's grown back to the same length it was before. I think I might keep it a bit long for now, don't really feel like cutting them short!

Also, while I was at work, the same lady who requested one of my designs before, also asked for this rose design that I have in this mani! I've done these roses before, but on a different base and with a black outline. I really liked them so just did them again :)

What do you think of this design? Let me know below!
