MOTW - The Louboutin

Hello!

So what do a $645 pair of shoes and my manicure of the week have in common?

A bit of Sass, Class and Color Scheme! Pictured above are the Prive by Christian Louboutin who's red lacquered shoe sole has become iconic from HBO's Sex and the City.  The designer also creates some serious shoe porn!

So this week I am still suffering from broken nail trauma, and I think dark colors look better on shorter manicures, but I didn't want just glossy black nails - I wanted some sass!

So I gathered up a shiny black lacquer, a classic Red (sent to me by the lovely Nat from Gl0ssy) and a shiny top coat.  I also grabbed my roll of stripping tape which I forgot to photograph but I bet you can guess what it looks like.

First I painted my thumb and ring finger with 2 coats of red, let it dry, applied the stripping tape and then painted to coats of black across each nail.  ( The Rimmel polish was a bit thick, I should have stuck to Orly's Liquid Vinyl). 

Et viola!  But the real similarity lies in the middle picture above.  I also painted the underside of my nails red, just like the shoes ;)  

What inspires your manicures?
