Manicure Monday: On the Dot
As I’m sure you all know by now, I can’t get enough of nail art. I’m always looking for new ideas, techniques, and styles. Admittedly, when there isn’t a holiday or big event going on, sometimes it can be hard to think of new, creative nail art ideas. Enter Nail Art Society. I recently signed […]
Manicure Monday: Little Mermaid
For Halloween this year, my team at work went as hipster Disney princesses, and I was a hipster Little Mermaid. I went all out with my costume – long red wig, suspenders, boots, thick glasses, fork … I mean, dinglehopper – and all I needed was the perfect manicure to go with it! I decided […]
Manicure Monday: Superstition
Halloween is one of my favorite holidays. I absolutely hate being scared and I can’t stand blood, gore, or spiders, but there’s something about getting to be anything you want for a day – and being able to eat as much candy as you want. Last year, we created a manicure that emphasized the scary […]
Manicure Monday: BCA Strength
October is Breast Cancer Awareness Month, and I plan on showing my support for the cause the best way I know how – with a manicure. Last year, each of our editors painted our pinkies pink to show our support, and this year, I’m going all out – all pink everything. Whether you try this […]
Manicure Monday: NYFW
We’re all in a current state of Fashion Week frenzy. While fall fashions are exploding in stores, spring fashions are gracing the runways in New York, Milan, and Paris. Naturally, I get most excited about new trends in beauty, but I was honestly a little disappointed by the nail art I’ve seen from Fashion Week. […]
Manicure Monday: Silver Details
Manicures are a great way to express your feelings and personality without being in-your-face – unless, of course, you take a ton of photos and post all about your nails in a blog online, then maybe it’s in-your-face. Anyway, whether I’m feeling geeky, pretty, or punk, I can change my manicure as quickly as I […]
Bringing Back the 90s
I’ve noticed lately that things that are totally on trend right now were actually cool back in the 90s. Since I was born in 1990, I was too young to really be into fashion in the 90s. My mom dressed me, and as you can tell from my matching tie-dye outfit and “stunna shades,” I was pretty fashionable anyway […]
Manicure Monday: Acid Wash
Sometimes the coolest manicures require little to no skill – and this manicure is one of them. No precision, but all the impact. Acid-washed jeans are kind of like those manicures. They don’t take precision to create, but they definitely make a statement. Acid-wash jeans exploded into the style scene in the late 80’s/early 90’s […]
Fall Into Fashion
One of the things that makes me feel better about leaving the beautiful summer sun behind and transitioning into fall is fashion. I love summer because there’s nowhere else I’d rather be than prancing around the Jersey shore in a bikini and cute cover-up, but there’s something about the tights, the boots, and the knits that come out in fall […]
Manicure Monday: Faux Diamonds
I am absolutely in love with the idea of gems, lace, and other things to bedazzle your manicure. I’m not quite as in love with anything that will make my manicure 3D. If my nails aren’t totally smooth, I find that my nails snag on my hair way too often. So as much as I […]
