I miss discussing my beauty adventures with you guys, especially with prom and trying out new things! I decided to attempt my own lace nails for the occasion. All my friends had french manicures (and pedicures! :O), so I'm happy to say my nails were quite unique. I purchased a piece of lace from a fabric shop for around $1 and cut it roughly to size.
The base color is OPI's Skinny Dip'n in Lake Michigan. My bottle had dried up a bit, so it was gooey enough (gross, I know) to use as a sort of adhesive, and it stuck to the lace really well. Seche Vite helped finish it off, and I used tiny nail scissors to get the lace to fit my nail. Because I didn't use the heavy duty nail glue, my nails still felt bumpy, but it was worth the fun look!
I also went to Sephora for a makeup consultation. Please ignore the unkempt brows! I promise you I cleaned that up for the actual day! Sephora gave VIB's a special 45 minute makeover that month, so I was able to try a purple and gold look! It turned out pretty well.
My mom and her friend also made my corsages. This picture below is just an attempt to make a corsage out of flowers in the garden. I love the colors, but the flowers not as much.
This was a second try, I loved this one, but it wasn't my final one. I'll show you that one in another post! Along with my dress and shoes! :)
