Starbucks "La Boulange" -inspired Nail Art




The new "La Boulange" Bakery at Starbucks has a really cute design (and really good food ;) ), so I thought I'd do my new nail art in that theme. So, these are some of the packaging Starbucks has designed for "La Boulange". It kind of has a "lacy/doily" look:



They also had a new cup sleeve design, which I also incorporated. I tried to look for a pink polish that would come close to the La Boulange pink. Who knew that I would find it at the local drugstore for $2.99? ;)


 
I found Sinful Colors polish in "Starfish" which was pretty darn close... :) Then I used OPI's "Alpine Snow" for its stark whiteness. I bought a white dotting pen from The Face Shop (a Korean skincare store) and I used it to make the "frilly" edges. I used a dotting tool to do the pink version. The top pic is without any top coat. The bottom pic is with a matte top coat, which is the final look. Again, I used the Vinylux as a base coat, so hopefully this will last long too. ;)

As for my pedi, I just kept it simple this time, and wanted to do something with coral.

 
I used Nail Inc.'s "Kensington Palace Gardens" again, as the base. It's hard to see it, but I used The Face Shop's Face it #OR203 along the free edge, for a kind of french/gradation look.

I go to Starbucks often, so I wonder what they'll think of my mani... ;)
