NOTD: Rihanna & Marc Jacobs Resort 2013 Nails

Pin It

It's been a little while since I've done a nail art design so when I saw Rihanna pouring out her heart to Oprah in Marc Jacobs Resort 2013 mint halter neck this week, I wasn't thinking 'poor ol' RiRi', no, I was thinking 'Oooh that design sure would make some purrty nails. 

 The colours are gorgeous together, very like the cherry blossom nails I had last year, just in a slightly different design. Fancy seeing how simple they are to recreate? 
Colours used
A dotting tool and toothpick can be used for the florals (or of course a bobby pin)

 Starting with a mint base, the flowers are done with two small dots of each colour. The small pink dots and green leaves are all done using the toothpick, it's much easier to do fine details with the sharper tip. 
Accent Nail
Because the upper half of Rihanna's frock is a concentrated mix of all colours I wrapped the tip of the dotting tool in tissue paper, dipped it into the polish and placed it straight onto the accent nail. 
Place your flowers randomly on the nail bed
The final look
I'm unsure as to whether the accent nail works without the context of the dress but I absolutely love these colours together. It can be recreated using similar colours should you not have the ones I used to hand. 

 What do we think? Will you be wearing Marc Jacobs on your talons any time soon?

    Hey I know this is off topic but I was wondering if you knew of any widgets I
    could add to my blog that automatically tweet my
    newest twitter updates. I've been looking for a plug-in like this for quite some time and was hoping maybe you would have some experience with something like this. Please let me know if you run into anything. I truly enjoy reading your blog and I look forward to your new updates.

    My programmer is trying to persuade me to move to .net from PHP.

    I have always disliked the idea because of the expenses.
    But he's tryiong none the less. I've been using Movable-type on a number of websites for about a year and
    am anxious about switching to another platform. I have heard very
    good things about blogengine.net. Is there a way I can
    import all my wordpress posts into it? Any help would be greatly appreciated!
