French Tips with Girly Bits Ornamental My Dear Watson


M and I have a new favorite TV Show: Elementary!! In case you have not heard from it, it's Sherlock Holmes and Watson transported to 21st century New York. AND Watson has turned female, performed by Lucy Liu. Both M and I are quite big fans of her so consider us snuggled up on our couch Thursday evenings watching TV :-)!!!

While one of those recent Thursday evenings it hit me like lightning: I got Ornamental My Dear Watson from Girly Bits Season of Sparkle Winter 2012 Collection in my stash of untrieds. What better occasion to introduce it to you my dear readers than on a Thursday?

With the Holiday Season already far gone, I was not really in the mood to "splatter" Ornamental My Dear Watson on the whole nail. I consulted my "Inspiration for Manicures" Pin Wall with Pinterest and came up with this combination of polishes:



and ended with this mani:

I applied two very thin coats of Chanel Frenzy as I absolutely wanted to keep a certain translucent feel and dabbed Ornamental My Dear Watson to my tips. I frankly was quite smitten with this look and glad to have found a way to wear those blingy and glitzy Holiday glitters year throughout ;-)

Do you know the aforementioned TV Show Elementary? Have you tried this kind of French Tips as well? If so what combination did you choose?

I ordered Girly Bits Ornamental Dear Watson with Harlow & Co .

I look forward to reading your comments - thanks for visiting!!!
Christine

    No, I haven't watched "Elementary" but I pretty much only watch reality tv :-/ This is such a great combo. I think I may need that Chanel. It's so light and creamy. I love the neutral nail with the rainbow glitter tips, nice touch! You are so talented:)

    Have you ever seen Dexter? The actor who plays Holmes is QUITE the terrifying character on Dexter so I don't think I could ever see him as anything else.

    Loving the mani! It's kind of like a mani mullet, business on the nail and party on the tips! So cute :)

      Hi Becca, oh you found the right words to describe this mani - thank you so much :-)!!! I know Dexter - M was a big fan of it, you are right he is a scarry character. However as long as I can watch Holmes acting freaky from the safe haven of my couch I am fine :-)

      Salut Nati, no need to apologize sweetie, there are times where we all have other priorities and other stuff more relevant on our minds :-)!!! Thank you so much for your lovely comment, after this mani I felt like doing tons of French Tips manis - LOL!!! My hubby and I have a bunch of shows we love to watch and since we have Swisscom TV we watch TV a lot more "focussed" recording about 98 % of what we watch ;-) Mutzeli

    Oooh thanks for the tv show recommendation! I'll have to check out Elementary if I remember tonight. I love mysteries, so this really sounds like my type of show. :-)
    Cute mani! I love the glitter tips look!

    This is SO GORGEOUS, sis! And fun to see a neutral gracing your lovely nails :) We watch everything late and on netflix, but we've both been interested in Elementary since we heard of it. I think it's funny how widespread the association between Holmes and the word "elementary" is, since the famous phrase was not penned by Sir Arthur Conan Doyle, lol :) Gosh, I keep scrolling up to look! Frenzy is perfect on you!

      Oh thank you dear sis <3!!!! I believe we have a similar site here, but we subscribe to a TV provider that allow us to record programmes and watch it whenever we have time :-)!!! I guess this Elementary connected to Holmes must be an English connection as I am not aware of something similar in German. I love Frenzy too - my best ever nude!!!!! Take care xxx
