I love it, although I can only imagine what my manicurist would say to that!

One source for it is here.

I got these done today. The red is actually a dark raspberry.

Personally my nails are pitiful. I bite them so. I can never find artificials that i can manage with. I type on the lap top alot and it seems artificials get in the way for me.
I would love to get my nails don't vintage style though...hmm
Any suggestions??

Lollipop said:I have a question...How would the Half moon look with Acrylic? I figured it would be easier to do, since you can use a brush, and can "form" the acrylic better then finger nail polish(Which I've tried and it looks horrid, when I do it.), AND it'll last longer....Also, I form the tip myself with the white powder(It's a really pure white powder..Flour colored), So if I left just a tiny bit of the tip out, and did the half moon in white...Would that look slightly weird?...Or should I use silver, or something not so white.
I hope I posted this in the right section...Thanks!
Lollipop said:She does? I always thought it was polish..But thanks! I'll look her up and see if I can find a close up of her nails.
