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 […]
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: 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 […]
Manicure Monday: Red, White & Blue
For the 4th of July, I thought about trying to recreate the flag. When it comes to the American flag, however, I really think that Betsy Ross did it best. Creating tiny, intricate stars and perfectly balanced stripes is no easy task, especially if you’re downsizing it to your fingernail. There are so many options […]
Manicure Monday: Ombre Nails
Ombre is huge right now, whether it’s on your hair, your dress, or your nails. But it’s not an easy look to get. I’ve tried doing an ombre manicure in the past, and I can never seem to pick the right colors. China Glaze makes it easy for you with their Ombre kits! They have […]
Manicure Monday: Galaxy Nails
Galaxy nails aren’t just for astronomy majors. I’ve tried to recreate the look a few times and never been too happy with the result. They look absolutely beautiful, but look pretty complicated. Every time I’ve tried in the past, they just look sort of … sloppy. After many attempts and several different methods, I finally […]
Manicure Monday: Christmas Trees
Merry Christmas Eve to all of our readers who celebrate! Of course we couldn’t let a Manicure Monday on Christmas Eve pass by without creating a Christmas-themed manicure! Today, using a little bit of tape and glitter, we’ve created a Christmas tree manicure! I love this look because it’s actually way easier than it looks […]
Manicure Monday: Inspired by Color
As much as I love looking for inspiration on Pinterest, I know that I’m limited in terms of nail art by what I can actually do and what tools I have at home. It’s more important for me to have a simple-yet-neat design than an intricate-but-possibly-sloppy design. Sometimes when I’m trying to figure out what […]
Manicure Monday: London Calling
With British mania sparked by the upcoming Olympic Games in London, I absolutely had to create a manicure inspired by the hype. I’ve had this Manicure Monday planned for months, ever since Editor-in-Chief Kristine sent me Rimmel London’s Instant Art Press On Color nail stickers with a British flag pattern. I knew I had to […]
Manicure Monday: Bold Stripes!
As a lover of anything that has to do with manicures, I’m constantly trying to come up with something new and fun for Manicure Monday. To me, Manicure Monday has become more than just showing off what cute color I’m rocking that week. To be honest, I can’t have a Manicure Monday without making it […]
