Multicolored Manis: Would You Wear This?


Last week, our own beauty blogger Nicole was sporting a different color polish on each finger. Bright blue! Beachy coral! Sizzling neon! And that was just the right hand.

The rest of us just couldn't resist. "Can't make up your mind, Nic?" "Did someone spill a bag of Skittles on your hand?" "Are you charging admission to your ten-digit Tilt-A-Whirl?"

And then we saw this: Fashion Indie reports Hollywood stars are flashing a new hue on each finger. Color us wrong; we're clapping with monochromatic manis over Nicole's savoir fashion faire.

Yeah, it's a bit crazy! But I would wear it - during summer holidays at the beach for instance :)

I've done that for years. :D

I used to alternate gold and silver on my fingers and reverse the effect on my toes. It was fun. And people always commented positively on it.

I did it :)

I haven't done that in ages, but pastel Tony & Tina colors were my favorite when I did. Now it makes me think of that serial killer in the first season of Dexter!

Not only would I do it, I've done it. I've been doing it since high school. In HS, though, my colors were a little more out there. Now, my colors are a little bit more subdued but the children I work with always get a kick out of it.

I have done this for years! What I'm really excited about though is foiling nails ala Beyonce!

I think anymore than two colors is just too elementary school; "oh mommy, I want to have the rainbow on my hands!" Well, now you can.

The Socialite said...

hmmm. I think this is a fun trendy I could get use to. well depending on the colors!

I am totally going to give this a whirl. I think it's fun and quirky (and a great way to use the ridiculous number of nail polishes I have!).

Louise said...

I do this all the time and it is fun :) sometimes it just isn't possible to pick one single color

Lizzie said...

I've been pretty much obsessed with neon pink nails (I've been using essie punchy pink) but I might have to change it up this week by adding a new color into the mix...

If I do more than one color, it's something crazy on the ring finger and something more neutral (usually black) on every other finger.

It looks pretty awesome, and it's more understated than one really bright color, but still keeps it interesting. Plus as much as I love shiny black nail polish, sometimes it gets boring!

Hello,

No, not for me. It is too brave :)

I mean I like to do something "crazy" sometimes but it is just not my cup of tea.

I think it's great, especially if you want to brighten other people's days ;-)

Definitely NOT for me. I see a manicure as a way to clean up my hands and to have them looking fashionable yet presentable and sophisticated. However, I would love this look on other people. It shows boldness and a sense of humor!
