NOTD #9

I recently took off my shellac nails and after having shellac on for 2 weeks, my nails had grown quite a bit without chipping!! (my nails usually start to chip when they grow longer).  I decided to look online for some nail inspiration and came across the "half french" nail design.  (If you type "ハーフフレンチ ネイル" into Google image search you'll get a ton of cute nail design results!) They're not as hard as normal french nails because you don't need to be as precise.

I also decided to mix it up and go for a couple different colors and some design.  The dots were created by dipping the tip of a paperclip in nail polish and then placing it lightly on the nail.  I also used the studs that I purchased a while back from amazon.  (you can read more about it here).

I used:

From L to R:

• imm Out the Door topcoat
• Zoya - Neely
• essie - Lapiz of Luxury
• essie - Sand Tropez
• pa (Japanese brand) -  A30
• OPI Nail Envy used as a base coat (not pictured)

I like how cute and easy this nail design was; I hope you guys liked it too!
