Idle Hands < Idol Hands

Acid anyone?

I've become a little obsessed with manicures and nail art as of late, and I want to share some super creative ideas that I've come across online. As far as self expression through fashion goes, I've become pretty adventurous and there isn't much (aside from nudity) that I won't try. Nails are no exception.

Unfortunately a lot of nail technicians find my requests daunting as they do require a very steady hand and a lot of patience. If I ever succeed at my secret desire to become ambidextrous, I'll just do my own nails and avoid the raised eyebrows.

At the moment I'm rocking a classic French gel manicure. Before this I had black gel with a white eagle which was killer and I wish I had taken a photo to share with you. I'm hanging back with a traditional look for now as I work for a bank and they already think I have a "unique style of [my] own." That's another topic for a later date!

The great thing about nail art is that you can be as adventurous as you like in small amounts as apposed to going all out head to toe. Speak of the devil, pedicures are a great way to try bold designs at home before taking your ideas to the salon for professional application.

All the photos I've added here were found via Google image search.
