Vintage manicure - quick pic

Just a quick picture of my vintage manicure - I was rather pleased with it.

Note the glamorous setting, on the No. 56 bus back to Hackney.



I didn't do this myself I admit, I had a manicure to spur me on to take better care of my nails.  They really do let me down, I'm just lazy!

That being said, I do manicure myself every now and then.  I'll be posting a full how-to, some polish recommendations and some vintage nail history in the coming weeks, so keep an eye out!

    At the Chapel - their nail girl is wonderful! I thought I'd treat myself to celebrate a fortnight of not smoking.

    Very nice, I still haven't got the hand of doing half moon manicures, they ALWAYS smudge.
    Jeni does perfect half moons, I'm very jealous of her nails!

    Hows about a girlie night in sometime - mine, wine, rollers, nail polish, wine, cats, brow pencil, more wine....

    love it! i unfortunately am terrible with my manicure, i just cut my nails short as they break as soon as they grow a bit, plus they have a horrible round/square shape, nothing near to a nice oval. bleah!

    They look great. I've never seen this half moon manicure before. I get my nails manicured every few weeks, I am rubbish at doing them myself, so will look foward to your post! x
