LE LACQUER HOOK UP: The Meme Week Nail Art Challenge: Day 5

Today is Day 5 of the challenge, "Like a Sir"! The meme/saying is used whenever one feels as though one has just done something fancy. Another version of the catchphrase is "Like a Madam". However, the former is used in almost all cases, regardless of gender.

Today's mani features roses and a tea cup brimming with Earl Grey tea with milk and sugar. That is the only way I'll take Earl Grey and, more often than not, the only tea I drink. Talk about fancy, huh? Also, what better way to convey sophistication and chivalry than by commissioning one of England's national emblems, the Tudor Rose? Unfortunately, I didn't have a red creme with which to create the roses. I only had red crellies. (Can you believe that?!) Anyway, I really like how the tea cup turned out! I love the addition of the antique gold design.

For this mani, I used Barry M Lychee as the base. (Barry M is a polish line that hails from England.) I used Revlon Really Rosy and Sally Hansen White On for the roses and Color Club Artsy Crafty for the leaves. For the tea cup, I used White On for the body and Orly Solid Gold for the decorations. To resemble the appearance of how I prefer my Earl Grey, I mixed China Glaze Desert Sun and Lychee in a 1:1 ratio. I used 3 drops each to make enough to paint with, and a nail art brush to apply it. I topped everything off with Poshe Super Fast-Drying Topcoat.
