I took the idea for these nails exactly from a pic I had pinned on Pinterest. Being the dummy I am, I deleted the pin once I had finished painting my nails. So now that's I finally have the time to blog about it.... I can't find the reference! So I'm terribly sorry to whoever originally did these. I did copy your idea exactly, and I promise if I can find the picture or if one of you guys knows the link, I'll credit you with a link back.
*edit* Ah yes, the inspiration was from The Nail Polish Project seen here. Thanks @ FrugallyMe for helping me out with that! *end edit*

They turned out great and I wore them like this for a record - 2 days! So here is how you can recreate the look as well.
I even changed my pedicure out to coordinate. I used all the same colors.
So here are the tutorial pics (for the nails only) and then close-up pics of each nail's different design.
2 coats of Sinful Colors - Savage (double up on your basecoat, this polish stains like the devil)
Add details using China Glaze -For Audrey. I just used a regular striping brush and one of my dual ended dotting tools (large on one end, small on the other).
Add further details using Sinful Colors - Snow Me White. Don't forget to topcoat.
I thought they were awesome. Hope you do too!
