There's a first for everything...

...and today was my first attempt at doing my tips (a colorful french manicure, per se). I usually do a solid (or Sparkly) base and a simple design, but I decided to venture out and try a "tip" manicure. For the red, I used Ruby Jewels (Milani) and for the base, I used Pink Glove Service (Essie). The base color is what I usually use if I am in a rush and have no polish on (it is a simple clean look with the slightest hint of color.

Essie: Pink Glove Service

Milani: Ruby Jewels (this image doesn't do the color justice! It is SO sparkly!)

Not too shabby for a first timer...
