Wedding Wednesday: Blue Bow French Manicure

Hello everyone, and happy Wedding Wednesday! Today's bridal inspired nail art look strays a bit from the classic style - I decided to incorporate "something blue" into the theme with a delicate blue French manicure:

I started off with a base of OPI Sweet Heart - if you recall, this is the nail polish that my brother's fiancee Ashley gifted me with when she asked me to be a bridesmaid - totally appropriate for Wedding Wednesday! Once that was dry, I carefully painted on a thin French tip using KBShimmer In Yacht Water from their upcoming summer collection (I'll be posting my review of that soon!) Then, I took a small brush and KBShimmer Eyes White Open and painted on a thin line on all my nails, ending with a small bow on my ring finger!

From far away, I totally loved this look, but up close, I am a little disappointed in my sloppy freehand line work. I almost wish I had used tape to achieve perfectly straight lines for this - but then again, how will I ever get better at freehanding without practice, right?!

I'm definitely glad I got to incorporate a less conventional nail art look for this series, but I think I might have to try something even more out of the box! Does anyone have any suggestions?!
