Nail Art: Easy Bright Summer Ruffian



Ruffian manicures are basically the inverse of half-moon designs- at least that's the way I think about it.  They are really easy to do without guides, so they're my favorite way to change up an old nail design quickly or disguise tipwear.

I think they were actually my first ever foray into nail art, after becoming obsessed with polish.

This one is free-hand, and it's not perfect but it looked pretty sharp in real life.



The pink base color is Color Club- Raspberry Rush, and the blueish color is Orly- Bailamos, which was a Sally Beauty impulse purchase for me, but I ended up really liking it!

Outside, shade:


These colors together are sort of 80's-Exercise-Video, but I'm OK with that.
