I will admit I had no idea what kind of mani a Ruffian was. To me it looks like an upside-down french or an inverted half-moon? Anyway, this is my first time doing it and it is a total mess, but you gotta do what the theme is, right???
So here is my attempt at a Ruffian Mani. I used Essie Dive Bar (a birthday gift from the lovely Frosso over at Lacquer Me Silly!) over China Glaze Sunday Fundy (reviewed yesterday!) on the 3rd day. I love the Essie polish, and all it’s subtle shimmer! Not sure if I am a fan of this look on general. What do you think?
So I guess two great polishes don’t necessarily make a great look, eh? Oh well. Let’s see how my Twinsies did!
