Black and white dot magic


These are the nails I wore to view the new Great Gatsby film. I figured there would be a lot of tuxedos in the movie (and I was right... nailed it. Ha! Nail. Nailed it. I'm awesome) and it is a type of nod to a vintage manicure. 

I was gratified to see some authentic vintage laquer looks in the movie, so two thumbs up for that.  A twenties-era manicure was typified by a half-moon and tips without polish on them.  Also, a curved, pointy-shaped nail.  Here is a difficult to see picture:
