Snakes on My Fingers, Snakes on My Lobes

May 11, 2012 by WendyB

April’s gold manicure — my third with Sally Hansen Salon Effects nail polish strips — didn’t last as long as my previous Sally Hansen manicures, so celebrity manicurist Tracylee Percival gave me a new look sooner than expected. The “” strips are holding up nicely. Three out of four ain’t bad!

I’m enjoying this look. It’s close to my skin tone so it’s more subtle than usual, but the snake pattern keeps it interesting.

I wear my Queen of Scots snake necklace a lot, but the manicure spurred me to get out my Queen of Scots snake earrings too.

    Oh, I likes the mani – way cool and versatile.

    I’m fascinated by Mary Queen of Scots, and God knows, she was a brave woman in a bed of snakes.

    Is there any hope of snake pieces for the WendyB line?
