Nails Did: True Blue 3's












Here's a nail design inspired by my favorite Jordan 3's. It features an elephant print French tip and a navy blue reverse French tip.
The navy blue was actually a perfect match for the sneakers in the bottle, but it turned out a lot darker on my nails. I hate it when polishes don't translate into the same color on your nails--it's so deceiving!
Anyway, I wanted to incorporate some red into the look since there's a bit of it on the shoe, so red eyelets were added to bring all the details of the shoe together.


What I used:
Wet n Wild French White Creme (base)
Essence White Secret (used over white base to smooth it out since it didn't apply evenly)
Essence Underwater (reverse French)
China Glaze Pelican Gray (French tip)
Wet n Wild Black Creme (elephant print design)
Goldie red polish (eyelet design)
