I knew right away that I wanted to create a kind of retro pop-art mani to go along with this charm. The mani turned out a little different than I envisioned, but it's still a really easy and fun look.
The 'Exaggerated Red Lip With Tongue' nail charm is listed as item #11890 in the Born Pretty Store. There are actually two sizing options for the charm and I opted for the larger variation (#94). The exact size for the ones I received are 12mm x 10mm while the other size is 10mm x 8mm. I have fairly wide and large nail beds so this size works well for me, but for those with a small nail bed should probably choose the tinier version. No matter the size you chose, item #11890 comes with 2 charms per pack for only $1.99.
I used quite a bit of different polishes to create this retro chic look. Here's the breakdown:
- Sally Hansen Xtreme Wear: Peach Beach and Black Out
- Zoya: Ryan and Ling
- Salon Perfect: Sugar Cube
- Fire Cracker Lacquer: A Crown Well Deserved
The star-burst on my ring finger was created using a nail vinyl from the store Nails Redesigned. To add more of a pop-art effect I outlined the vinyl with red acrylic paint.
