After Mr. Sweet Cream proposed and the sparkly new accessory grazed my ring finger, I didn't get a manicure!
I know.
And it's almost been a full year & I have yet to get one(!!!).
Don't get me wrong - I love painting my nails and making them look like shiny & kempt. And I am the person that gets that feeling you get when your five on Christmas day when Sally Hansen comes out with a new color.
But for some reason I'm not one for shades the color of roses and going to a nail salon is a rarity for me. I do love paining my nails though!
This is the laquer color that made me let out a like shriek in the drug store that made heads turn.

This one did it to me too -- opulent cloud.

And besides just shades - I love seeing new ideas that are completely out of the box!
I love love love these lace inspired nails.
Of course I would google. Of course I would search...
There's actually a cool DIY tutorial here.

Zac's former gf makes the "different shade on a solo finger"
look good. Especially if you had a certain new piece of jewelry to show off!
Here's my hand on the night after the big question was popped (& our lives were officially changed forever):
(self pic)
I know that there were smudges on that pinky to the camera's eye -- but it looked OK in person. And believe me - after seeing pics like this - I try as hard as I can to be a little bit more careful.
So on the big day I do not think that I will be going the route of the french manicure or some shade of roses (unless we are talking about yellow ones). It just isn't "me" and I want to be as me and I can be on my wedding day.
So while the dress hunt begins and other plans are made, I'm keeping my eyes peeled for the varnish the speaks to me. I will get them done professionally - especially after said pic above - and I may grow them out a tiny bit... but not false nails for me. They just make my finger nails clostrophobic, what can I say.
Elle Woods might have said "Never underestimate the power of a woman with a french manicure." But I think some rockin' nails are equally as intimidating.

Did you get a manicure after you were sporting some shiny new bling? What is your favorite nail polish color? Do you know what you are doing with you falanges for the big day?
