A few days ago Kate Middleton wore THE most amazing Alexander McQueen dress in Canada – I absolutely love her style. While I probably won’t ever get my hands on this gorgeous dress, I thought I could put the dress on my hands instead (ha ha?). At first this design looked a bit daunting, but once I picked out certain parts to copy it made it a bit easier.
I began with 2 coats of white – Revlon ColorStay Gel Envy in Sure Thing. I typically stick to white polish during the Summer months, but I really love how it made the red design “pop”! I painstakingly painted in the rest of the design with Revlon ColorStay Gel Envy in Roulette Rush, which I think matched perfectly to the red in her dress.
Since this design is so detailed I did make a few mistakes, but luckily the polish I used is very opaque so I painted it over the mistake and I was able to redo that part without redoing the whole nail…phew!
What do you guys think? Do you want to see more fashion inspired nail art?




Nice mani! Great idea to do more fashion inspired manicures. You really represented Kate’s look very accurately.
Thank you!
