Nails/NOTD: French Tips with NYX Girls - Sexy Plum and China Glaze - Ruby Pumps

I felt like playing around with my nails. I don't get the chance to paint them very often as I don't have much time, but I decided to neglect some other things (house chores!) to treat myself. I originally meant to just do a dark red coat then put the sparkly red on top all over. Part way through, I changed my mind and just did 3 coats of dark red and then bright red tips. I love how this turned out. I definitely will try it again with other colors.

Nails/NOTD: China Glaze - Ruby Pumps French Tips

This is the nail look I created for this club makeup look posted here.  I've never done french tips before so I wasn't really sure what the heck I was doing. This was a little rushed, but I thought it turned out well considering I wasn't using french tip strips. I originally wanted to use a nude base but I didn't have the time, so I just went with a clear base coat, 3 red coats on the tips and then a top coat. Even though I let Ruby Pumps completely dry before applying the top coat, it picked up some red and transferred it onto the clear polish. :-(
