So, there was a time I was really into gyaru nails and decided to put a bunch of ornaments on my nails. Gyarus typically get acrylics, but I don't really like the feel of artificial nails. I went to the beads section of NYC (yes there's an entire street in NYC that just sells beads) and bought a bunch of flowers and little cameos. I wanted to do a Victorian kind of theme.
I did a google books search for public domain works and found this ad in a 1950s magazine:

More vintage inspired nails:
Maybe you're one of those annoyingly lucky people who own some heavenly vintage polishes that you want to crack open (not literally) and make the rest of us jealous, or maybe you too have a soft spot for doilies. Perhaps you're inspired by a particular decade or trend. As long as there's some connection to the past it'll fit right in with this months theme!
