Inspired by Lucy

The theme for today's 31DC is "Inspired by a blogger". I've known what to do for this day for a while, I wanted to copy Lucy's gorgeous Elegant Squares manicure!

A week ago I picked up of Dior's summer polish duo "Samba" and I knew exactly what they would be used for!

Aren't the colors gorgeous? I feel that even though it's not the brightest mani, it still gives the a summer feeling. It gives me a vibe of late summer nights, only thing wrong in this picture is my paler than white hand, lol :p

I messed up the ring finger a little... I slipped the brush while painting the gold polish and ended up with two large gold squares next to each other :-/

And another thing, striping tape is fun, but boy is it time consuming! It took me forever to get the gold strips in place! I think the result is worth it though :)

And lets finish off with two pictures of Dior 794 all by its self in its gorgeousness :)
