blue and white damask

My mom came to visit me for the holiday weekend and every time we see each other I always do her nails. She chose this damask pattern and then I added some rhinestones and pearls on her accent finger. Got some compliments from our server at dinner :) To see another design in black and white check out this blog entry.
