Manicure Monday: Chevron Stripes
I look for inspiration for my Manicure Monday designs in a lot of places. Sometimes I think about what events I’ll be attending that week, sometimes I look at what new techniques I’d like to try, and sometimes I just stare at my nail polish collection and hope that something comes to me. Today’s Manicure […]
Manicure Monday: Monochrome Matte French
A French manicure is always classy. It’s hands down my favorite way to do my nails. I think it’s sleek, pretty, feminine, and elongates your nails like no other manicure can. All that being said, if I wrote a blog each week about how much I love the classic French manicure, it would get boring. […]

A Beauty Review: Lancome Teint Miracle Instant Retouch Pen
LANCÔME Teint Miracle Instant Retouch Pen ($29.50) Oil-free liquid concealer in a pump pen. I’m not ever really a fan of these pump pens, whether it’s for a concealer or a lip gloss or anything. I don’t like waiting for the product to ooze out of the brush, and I don’t like that I can’t really clean […]
Manicure Monday: Halloweenified
With Halloween coming up, I wanted to make sure this week’s Manicure Monday was spooky! Whether you dress up in full costume for Halloween or not, nail art is a great way to celebrate the holiday.

It’s Manicure Monday once again! I’ve been pulling a lot of inspiration from Pinterest for my manicures lately, whether it’s for the colors, the theme, or the actual design. Ideas have to come from somewhere, and Pinterest is a great place to go for inspiration of any kind! I’ve noticed a lot of manicures that […]
