Color Blocking Trend... For Your Fingernails

Color Blocking is everywhere. What started last year is now out in full force. I love it! Even if it's not for you, there is still a way to have some fun with it-- nail polish! My favorite outfit of all time is a pair of skinny jeans and a plain black or white shirt with motorcycle style boots. It will never go out of style, but it doesn't play into many trends either. So, I put the trend into my manicure :) I saw a few pics online of Beyonce, Rihanna, Vanessa Hudgens and Nicole Scherzinger sporting this trend, and decided to try it.... Success! I've seen it done with just a slightly lighter or darker color on one finger on each hand, and with glitter on top of the color on one finger. So there are more subtle ways to do it. But I'm not so subtle, so I decided to go with contrasting colors. I used two of the brand new Essie shades-- "go overboard" is the main color and "ole' caliente" is the ring finger color. I did both hands the same and used the orangey-red on both ring fingers. Love it? Hate it? Would you rock this look?
