In the second part of this challenge we were asked to rework the French Nails into a Haute Couture Masterpiece.
Haute couture to me means High Fashion, one of a kind design. I wanted them to have a very luxurious feel, which is why I chose the bronze and rose gold color palette.
My inspiration came from images of European haute couture dresses. I embellished the nails with rose gold foil, swarovskis and studs, a bronze acrylic rose and some black acrylic ruffles.
I really enjoyed making these nails, and I actually found it hard to take my eyes off them!

Here I covered the white acrylic with foil glue. I then used rose gold foil. I used black gel polish to define the smile line.

This is how I made my rose. I made the leaves directly onto the nail, but practised on the form paper first.

I affixed the rose with putty, to make sure I put it in the right position.

I used Swarovski Crystals to Embellish my work. I attached the crystals with Akzentz Bling on, so I had time to get the placement perfect.

Here I added black ruffles to my thumb nail.

At first I finished my design like this.

But then I decided to add more embellishment with the ball chain and more Swarovski.
