Nail Art of the Day: French with Black Tips

Manicure with Black tips using SH Art Pen

Happy Thursday, or shall I say Friday for some of us. Woot, Woot! Today I'm bringing you another design using my favorite Sally Hansen's nail art pen in Black. It's very rare...well, next to never that you'd see me sport a french with my natural nail. But, I wanted to mix it up a bit and try one with black tips.

Today I learned something about these nail art pens that I never knew. Don't EVER attempt to use these on your natural nails without a base coat, they will severly stain your nails.

Check out one more swatch below. 

Manicure with black tips and pink polka dots

You know me and my polka dot fetish, I just couldn't resist. And, I really love the pink polka dots versus the black tips alone.

Have a great 4th of July weekend! And, please be safe!

Yes, it is definitely much more cute with the pink polka dots! Thanks for the warning about the staining, I probably would have done that as well!

I like your idea of the dots on the tips. I'll have to try it!

Your design looks great. I have this pen in the black and I learned the hard way about using these pens on your natural nails. I wound up having to cut them to get rid of the ugliness! but it was very easy to use...i really like it. planning to get some more in other colors.

I have dressmaker, but I will definitely be running out and grabbing Teddy Bare! Great post!

I tried Deluxe Chocolate last week and loved it! Wicked will be my next mani. And I've been thinking about ordering the new Fall rose shades, but they don't seem very fall to me.... so I haven't decided yet.

Those are great dupes! I've always had good results from Milani, so I think I'll be looking for Dressmaker. I don't own any Chanel, and don't expect to either.

I've never tried Milani, but I'm adoring Dressmaker. I think I need go to find a Milani retailer! :D Thanks!!

STEPH, can I tell you how much I missed your blogging!!!! For real, I am so HAPPY you're blogging again you totally made my day with this post!! and OMG everyone make sure you check out the Photo Gallery, I can't believe i never knew about it!!

Regina said, on Sep 1st, 2010 4:22 am regarding Splurge vs Steal: Chanel and Milani
Great post! It's very helpful. I already have the Jordana (which is the same as the Milani Dressmaker) so I don't need the Chanel which is impossible to get a hand on. Thank you so much for this comparison!
