Rihanna "Rude Boy" Inspired Manicure

 "C'mere rude boy, boy..."

What else can I say? 
Well, I definitely have to say that I am FEELING this Rihanna "Rude Boy" inspired nail design HARD today. Looks like if you're in a polishing slump a little RiRi can work wonders! 
 

Here's a few images from the video that sparked my inspiration:

Polishes used : 
China Glaze - Papaya Punch

China Glaze - Happy Go Lucky 
KleanColor - Neon Green
O.P.I - Planks a Lot
O.P.I - French Quarter For Your Thoughts
Ruby Kisses - Teal Envy

What do you think, would this manicure do Rihanna proud? Any songs you'd like to see manicure-ized?

Snoop Lion (Formerly Snoop Dogg) Shows Off a Thugged Out MANicure In Latest Instagram Photo

Now I'm all for equal polish rights, and I've most certainly been called pro-metrosexualism, but I have to be honest... A myriad of thoughts run through my head when I try to imagine what made Snoop Dogg decide to go from busting caps to busting out a French Manicure on Instagram. 

I can't say that I blame him though, the Frenchie is a classic, so choosing that design probably took the stress out of his life that would come along with trying to pick out the perfect polish to compliment such a classy self portrait. 
I know he has mellowed out in his wise old age, but part of me can't help but wonder if he won't go back to his old ways after he feels the infuriating pain of his first chipped nail...

Take it from me, a chipped manicure can really bring out the thug in a person.
