TFIOS Okay? Okay. Nails

So a few months ago, I read The Fault in Our Stars for the first time; I've read it a total of 3 times in the past several months. It is still my favorite book, and I read a book every day or two. John Green is just an amazing author, and he captures the feelings of being sick amazingly, making it easy to relate even if you don't have a terminal illness. I saw the TFIOS movie last night, and it was amazing, of course. I really wanted to do nails to celebrate it again, so I've been looking at different designs for the past several weeks. I saw the perfect design on Instagram (@cutepolish), and decided to recreate it. I did a similar design with my first TFIOS mani, but Cutepolish added newspaper print, which I thought was a quirky, unique twist. Anyways, enough babbling, here's the mani!

After a lot of swatching, I chose to use Revlon's Coastal Surf as the base, because it's the closest shade to the actual TFIOS book cover. As usual, I used OPI's Black Onyx and Alpine snow for the clouds.

Then I took pictures in my light box, just to show how the color looks inside vs. outside.

I really wanted to take some pictures with the book cover, but I bought it on kindle so I didn't have the actual book. Luckily, my best friend Karisa let me borrow hers! It's a testament to how good friends we are that she didn't think it was weird that I wanted to borrow a book not to read it, but to take pictures of it with my matching nails. 

All in all, I'm really in love with the way this mani turned out! It's so cute, and every time I look at it, I'm reminded of the best book ever, haha. 

Here's a picture of the mani by Cutepolish that inspired mine. She has a Youtube tutorial for it (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6Rtaut3wo6A), and a lot of great video tutorials on her channel that you should check out!
