Pink and Black Chevron Nails

Hi guys!

If you follow me on Instagram, you might know that I recently had a nail disaster where the majority of my thumb nail snapped off :( I thought that it would all be fine and that I'd just make do with creating four-finger manicures until it grew back to a suitable length, but lo and behold the next day my index nail snaps too. So, I'm back to the nub club! Although I love having long nails, some designs just look better on shorties, so I'm trying out a few tried and tested colour combos and designs to compliment my new length (or lack thereof!)

For this mani I used one of my favourite colour combinations. I just love how pink and black always looks so striking in a manicure - it's fun, edgy and girly all at once! The black here is Aimeili gel polish in 'Blackpool' (colour #007). I used my new chevron nail vinyls from She Sells Seashells, and Models Own 'Sun Hat'. I must take a moment to gasp in awe at how beautifully this polish layers over black. Can you believe that this is one (thick) coat over black, with no white undies to speak of?! No? Me neither.

As you can see, I'm shying away from including my thumb in any pictures for a while as it is in such a sorry state. Hopefully soon she will be back in my photos, as I'm not sure I like this four-fingered look so much - it feels incomplete!
