A Herve Leger Story Inspired Nail Art

I've had fake gel nails for over two years. Yes. I had fake nails, at one point I had eyelash extensions, dyed my hair and once in awhile wore a fake ponytail hair for special events. I can proudly say "My tatas are real." Don't judge, it's hard being a woman. The cost of buying beauty products, makeup, clothes, shoes, pretty underroos, nail care, haircuts, and jewelry sometimes make me wish I was a man who planted my ass on the couch, ate potato chips and scratched.

Cons

After getting sick of listening to my manicurist talk shit about me and other customers in Vietnamese I had enough. (Yo, yo honey I can understand Vietnamese) I don't like paying $45 every three weeks to hear her talk about petty shit, never listening to my requests about the nail art design and constantly asking about my love life.

Pros:

Turns out nail art is pretty easy and fun to play around. I can change the design every few days. I don't need to book an appointment according to my manicurist schedule. Recieving compliments with a quick head snap "Girl, those nails are fierce!"




I like stories, I like how an outfit, a oversize brooch, a nail art design or a dish tells a story of a time, place, and emotion.

I was inspired by a Herve Leger dress for this nail design. Do you ever walk by a window display and start to wonder? I gazed at the Herve Leger store in San Francisco and wondered. I wondered what type of glamourous job will entail me to afford and wear this snake tight fitting dress. Sexy. Trashy. Vixen. But. Classy.




*dream sequence*

I am advisor to Queen Elizabeth in London, my day job is a high power woman working along royalty and important government officials. I'm invited to extravagant events at night to sport an Herve Ledger dress. I can see the headlines now, "Smart and young, right-hand to the Queen dazzles at last night charity gala" Hey, a girl gotta dream big.
