I didn’t have a lot of time for this design, so it had to be very quick. I only photographed one hand – I promise, both were the same!

I never thought I’d find a red that I like as much as this one but it always looks great – it must be the orange tones in this one, other reds just don’t look as good with my skin tone.

As you can see my nails are a lot shorter than they were. I’d had a couple of breaks starting which had been held together with gel for a week or so. I just got sick of them – so much hassle switching between acetone/non-acetone and then having to re-do the gels. And they were getting too long really. At least I’m not completely back to nubs except on one thumb. It’s nice to be able to type again though!
