Gilmore Girls Nail Art for the Ultimate Coffee Lover

Partial Press Sample

All right guys, let's get to some real talk. Gilmore Girls will be releasing their new season this Friday on Netflix. I have been a HUGE fan of the show, watching it from day 1 when it first aired on WB. I mourned its ending when the CW took over the channel, and had no idea what was good tv, deciding to end Gilmore Girls for reruns on America's Next Top Model (insert eye roll so hard you fall off your chair). I am so excited to see the original creator finally getting to end the show the way she wanted to. So I couldn't let this monumental event pass by without a coffee manicure ode to my favorite show!

I wanted to do a coffee theme with Luke's iconic diner sign. The show opens and end with the Gilmore Girls being in his diner drinking coffee. What's more appropriate?

Turns out, Cirque Colors French Roast is my only coffee named polish. I have an Uber Chic Beauty with coffee images and I knew I needed to use it for my Gilmore Girls manicure! Here's the breakdown of each nail:

Thumb: Jessica Cosmetics Mad for Madison with OPI My Vampire is Buff
Index: Paint Box Polish Bacio stamped with Jessica Cosmetics Mad for Madison 
Middle: Cirque French Roast with handpainted Luke's Sign using BEGL We're Invincible and Paint Box Polish Bacio
Ring: OPI My Vampire is Buff stamped with Jessica Mad for Madison
Pinky: Cirque French Roast stamped with OPI My Vampire is Buff

I wore this shiny for a few days! Isn't is so perfectly coffee like!?

  1. Don't hate me, but I've never watched GG! :( I do love this mani though - the matte is my favorite, makes it so soft and luxurious - which I imagine a cup of coffee to me (I don't drink coffee either, but I love coffee flavored ice cream, does that count?).

    1. It does count. Any coffee in any way is awesome! I like the matte too. Velvety is the perfect word
