ABC Challenge: F is for Fingerprints and Folly


Hiya, everyone!  Today brings us another ABC Challenge and our letter is "F".  I know the title up there says that F is for Fingerprints and Folly, but it also kinda stands for "Fail" here lol  This is not my favorite manicure, but I figure it's good to see the losers as well as the winners, yeah?  Anyway, here's what I have:


It just looks a mess, don't it?  Oh well.  I started here with 2 coats of Sinful Colors Folly, a watermelon pink creme.  I decided that fingerprints would be a fun manicure to do for "F", but I didn't want to spend 42 hours painting them on and I don't have a stamping plate with that pattern, so I searched around online a bit and found this.  Seemed pretty straight forward and easy; dip your finger in acrylic paint, dab off the excess and then press your fingertip into your nail.  I don't know if my paint was old or if I didn't press hard enough, but either way, I'm not particularly impressed with the result.  That's what I get for trying to cut corners!




I do, however, love the color of Folly.  It's really one of my all time favorite pinks.  It seems somehow less "girly" than a true pink and it's just gorgeous for summer. 

I can't wait to see what the other ladies have come up with for their "F" manicures!  You can find them all via the links below.  Thanks so much for reading!
