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 […]
A Beauty Review: Benefit’s Stay Flawless
We’ve tried plenty of foundation primers – some good, some not so good – but we’ve never tried a foundation primer that comes in stick-form. Stay Flawless, an adorable little primer stick, is the newest beauty innovation from Benefit. We came, we tried, we loved – read on to find out why!
Manicure Monday: Minnie Mouse
There’s something about Disney that’s so … magical. I don’t think I know anyone that doesn’t like Disney. In fact, I don’t even know anyone who is neutral about Disney. Everyone loves Disney! So why not make a Disney-themed manicure? This week’s manicure is a tribute to none other than Minnie Mouse! The bright red […]
Manicure Monday: Dreamcatcher
Since last week’s Manicure Monday was dark and fierce, I wanted to go light and girly with this week’s. I’ve always been impressed with dreamcatchers. The premise of a dreamcatcher is that you hang it by your bed to catch any evil spirits or nightmares while you’re sleeping. Whether they work or not is a […]
Manicure Monday: Shark Week
I have to admit, when I sat down to start this manicure, Shark Week was the last thing on my mind. In fact, I really don’t even like Shark Week – and I definitely don’t like sharks. My goal was to sit down and create a DIY chalkboard nail art tutorial – but after a conversation about […]
Manicure Monday: Neon & Glitter
There’s bold manicures, and then there’s bold manicures. When you combine Color Club’s neon and Essie’s glitter, you’re bound to get a pretty bold manicure look. This week’s Manicure Monday features both fun glitter and bright neon. This manicure is not for the faint of heart – it involves bold polishes, a lot of tape, […]
A Beauty Review: NARS Larger Than Life Lip Gloss
NARS Larger Than Life Lip Gloss in Spring Break (pictured in the middle) ($26) Spring Break is a sheer nude pink. As a lover of all things makeup, NARS has been a brand that I’m absolutely gaga over, but is pretty out of budget for me to buy on a regular basis. When I got the opportunity […]
Manicure Monday: Gold Cross-Hatch
I’ve gotten inspiration for my Manicure Monday tutorials from my favorite clothes, from holidays, and even from just staring at my nail polish collection. But I also get my inspiration from one of the most inspiring places of all – Pinterest! If you can browse Pinterest without getting inspired, you’re pretty tough. I browse Pinterest […]
A Beauty Review: Fusion Beauty Prime Results Primer
Fusion Beauty Prime Results Brightening Primer ($42) Helps to even skin and prepare for makeup. When I first started using this primer, I fell in love. It left my skin with a smooth, velvety feeling. It kept my makeup feeling fresh all day, and that was exactly what I was looking for in a primer. But that […]
Manicure Monday: Ombre Graffiti
When it comes to creating nail art, there’s a lot of ways you can go about creating the look you want. You can either invest in a professional manicure – or you can get creative. Tape can help you get straight lines, a dotting tool (or even a bobbi pin or paper clip!) can create […]
