Here’s my latest look from celebrity manicurist Tracylee Percival. All the nails are painted red except for the thumbs. I have a Union Jack on the left thumb and a French Tricolor on the right.

I’m going to call this one “European Vacation.”

All the colors are by Gelish: Ocean Wave (blue), Red Roses (red) and Sleek White.

    I’ve been uninspired to do my nails recently, this may be the kick in the butt I needed. Cause your nails rock!

    One of my all-time favorite movies. Silly and cringe-inducing at the same time.

    Nice mani, too.

    Heya WendyB! Haven’t been able to check in for awhile and I love the new look. Also, love the nails, which remind me I should let you know that you inspired me to start wearing bright colored nail polish. I always thought you had to have longer nails to wear anything but clear (you know how you get those weird rules in your head?) but your nails always look so great I gave it a try and now I get ’em done all the time with bold colors.

    Such pretty nails, but I’m distracted now; I can’t be the only one with the Pig in a Poke theme song in my head. “Pig in a poke, it pays to be a glutton! Pig in a poke! Oink, oink!” My coworkers are gonna love me this afternoon, “Pig in a poke, you could win all or nothing…”
