Stella McCartney Resort Nails

As I mentioned before, I am completely in awe of Stella McCartney's Hawaiian print collection for Resort 2012. I thought this might be the perfect opportunity to try out the marble nail techniques I've been dying to experiment with for a while now. After all, if there's any way to capture kitschy-cool waves on your nails, it's going to be with marble swirls of color.

I will spare you the messy how-to's, but it basically included a lot of water, nail polish, lotion to protect my fingers from the polish, trial, and error. The marble looks is pretty awesome when you get it right, but if you are going to try it out, I do not recommend using white as it goes on too sheer. Add a few flowers and you're Stella-approved.

Stella McCartney Resort 2012

I know these photos are old news in blog terms (they came out last week), but I can't help but post. I'm completely in love with Stella McCartney's Resort 2012 collection. The bold prints, the Hawaiian shirts, the stripes, the '50s shapes are all things that would make a collection for me on their own. Together with Stella's fun, low key attitude about fashion, they are completely irresistible.
