Continuing with the almond shaped nails... I love them! Now that I look back to my rounded nails, I think these look nicer and compliment nail designs a lot better - just my opinion of course. The only downside for me is that it's more difficult to file them down since it's a more precise shape, but I can deal with that... I did mess up on one of my middle fingers, it's shorter and more triangular than almond shaped. Practice always makes better ;)

Onto the nails themselves... I have a thing for leopard print nails. Never mind that I almost always use the same colors since the first time I tried leopard nails. I added V for a little pop of color cause an all-neutral mani is a tad too boring for my tastes. It's a rediscovery for me - I love that it's a well-rounded coral shade for me. Not too bright and not too dull, just perfect!

  6. I so wish I had the patience to do these, but I may have to make a purchase of the OPI shade regardless.

  7. I think the almond nails are becoming an unhealthy obsession. Every week I just want them longer and AS SHARP AS THEY CAN BE without hurting myself.

  9. It doesn't take too long once you get the hang of it! I've had that OPI shade for years, and it's gotten quite gloopy so I can't do much with it besides the little dabs for spots. It might be time for me to purchase one as well!
