After a weekend full of skiing my nails were looking rough. I had been wearing gloves the entire time and wasn't forced to watch them slowly deteriorate... however, as soon as i got home one of the first things I did was give myself a manicure. My nails were crying out for some TLC. After wearing black ski clothes the entire weekend I was dying for some color and went a little overboard with my design/color choices (gold, purple, hot pink). It ended up looking like a mix between a country's flag and and early 90s swishy track suit.

I kind of hated this as soon as it had dried but didn't have the energy to redo my nails. I rocked it for a few days and then decided to go for a subdued look - the classic French manicure. However, I was still craving hot pink so I added a twist.
