Cute actually, not crazy about the straight French-like tips though least not in that color but otherwise it's cute.

 
the french tip makes it too busy.  The 2 tone I love but I would have just done it without french tips. The model's makeup looks stupid too.  She looks like she went dirt biking while wearing googles. 

 
Actually the reverse mask is pretty unique in a lot of ways and creative. I think it could have been done a little bit better. I think the nail concept is cool. I used to do my tips black all the time LOL! People thought I was nuts back then too! Haha!

 
I will also try doing the nails..

Will upload pics if I manage doing it properly. 

Haha

 
I like the two toned polish look, how in the world did she get them like that? I am very interested in it......

Most likely it was sponged on using a latex cosmetic sponge. One method is to add drops of nail polish to a flat surface, like a piece of wax paper, and then dip the sponge onto the polish then pat it to the nail. Sally Beauty's Blog actually has an article on it.

But how would you do it all the way around the nail?  Sounds like it would be messy and needs lots and lots of polish remover! LOL!

Probably the same way you do marbling - tape off the skin around the nail and sponge it on.

 
Maybe... You can do a tutorial on it.  I've never seen this before and I'm sure lots of people would love to see how its done or even just a photo step by step :) /emoticons/[email protected] 2x" width="20" height="20" />

I can sure try to do a tutorial on the nails... I don't have those colours, and I don't have those polishes... I would only be able to do a black tip on short nails. Wait do you mean a tutorial on the nails or the reverse mask? LOL!
