Nails for the Marine Corps ball

I experimented a few times with some fancy looking nails for the ball but, ultimately, I ended up pretty simple. I knew I wanted to go with silver to match my shoes and dress. My shoes were silver glitter and my dress had silver stones on it.

I had grabbed this silver glitter polish when we were in San Diego last time. It's OPI Crown Me Already and it's great for glittery manicures.

I also did my friend's nails. Her dress was chocolate brown with gold detailing so she decided on this pretty bronze color and a gold accent nail with a tiny gold rhinestone.

I did a plain manicure with the Sally Hansen bronze polish I picked up recently. It's not really my favorite color on although the coverage is great and this line of polishes is one of my favorites for durability.


There's nothing wrong with the polish, it just wasn't a color on that I liked a lot. I'll definitely use it in future manicures but I can't see it being the base very often.

I painted my nails at night so there are no natural light pictures to show you. Instead, I took a picture with and one without flash.
