Let Your Fingers Do the Walking on Instagram

June 10, 2011 by WendyB

Here is my latest nail look by celebrity manicurist Tracylee Percival. We’re calling this one “Tutti Frutti.”

.

The colors are all by Gelish. Starting at the thumb, they are Tiger Blossom, Passion, Gossip Girl, High Bridge and Light Elegant. I’m wearing my own ring designs: the Siobhan perma-stacked stacking ring and the Gravity. Last year, I asked people to suggest some new names for the Gravity ring. I got a lot of great suggestions, but I wasn’t 100% sure of any of them. I’m adding to the Gravity ring line, so I’m hoping that a name will jump out at me when I see the finished new designs.

I took the manicure photo with my cell phone and Instagram, a photo-sharing app available for iPhones. I’ve always hated craptastic cell-phone photos. Why even put a camera in the phone if the pictures are going to come out bad? But Instagram gives you a choice of filters for your craptastic cell-phone photos, making them look sharper, brighter, more colorful or just artsier. It’s simple to use and I recommend it. Download the app and follow me: I’m “wendybrandes.”

    I love Instagram and I love your Gravity rings! I like the name. It’s a little bit of a double entendre.

    I love the first colour! Also, I need instagram in my life. Everyone’s photos always look so good when they’re uploaded through them!

    Ah, totally wish I could get Instagram on my phone. Don’t think the app is available for it… bummer, I totally love the retro effect. Also, loving your pink nails and junky rings! xx

      They’re going to need to do it. If they don’t, someone will come up with something similar and they’ll be screwed. If I were them, I’d be working hard on it.
