I came across this gold half-moon take on the french manicure on pinterest and can't wait to try it out. I love me some good nail inspiration, especially when it's subtle and easy to pull off. After some digging, I found out the nails were by Butter London for the Tadashi Shoji F/W 2014 show.

NAIL CANDY

So pumped I came across Nail Common - endless nail art inspiration. Loving the asymmetrical nude base/bright tip french manicures. Not going to lie, seeing these left me with major cuticle envy. I can never seem to get mine to look so smooth and groomed. Now off to get lost in Sephora's nail section. Any cuticle care advice is appreciated!

Speaking of beauty advice, Who What Wear just launched their new beauty site- BYRDIE!
