Firstly I would like to thank ♥beauxs mom  at her LoveBeanGirl blog for her help and advice. You can find her blog post here that prompted me to finally plum up the courage to make my first Franken.

Catrice: 440 I Wear My Sunglasses At Night & NYC: 250 Midnight Amethyst

Okay, so it's gone 3am, and I'm kinda tired for a change. Well, my eyes are sore anyway, so I'm going to make this bloggie as simple as I can.

First I started with Kiss "French Manicure" Tip Guides and applied them to my left hand. I then painted the tips of my nails on my left hand with Catrice: 440 I Wear My Sunglasses At Night. This is a glossy black shade with lots of small holographic glitter within it. Black only comes in one shade as far as I'm concerned, and this is it.

TIPS: Catrice "Ultimate Nail Lacquer." 440 I Wear My Sunglasses At Night.

Oh Là Là!

I couldn't sleep, no surprise there, so in the early hours of this morning I decided to start my very first French Manicure. Well, a slightly different version as the original, as I used a pink shimmer variation nail polish for the main color.

Below is my own step-by-step guide. Not just to help me remember how I done it, but also for reference for anyone that would like help doing their own for the very first time.

Step 1

I used Kiss "French Manicure" Tip Guides - BK132 to start off with. I applied them to my left hand first, as I am right handed. Then I used Catrice "Ultimate Nail Lacquer" 470 Snow Motion! to paint the tips of the nails of my left hand.

I took a few pictures when the tips of my nails had dried.
