Minute Manicure Removal
I change my nail polish as often as I change my clothes. Okay – not that often, but I still do my nails more often than the average person. When it comes to taking my polish off, the cotton balls can add up. Until I learned a neat little trick to use only ONE cotton ball […]
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. […]

Manicure Monday: Island of Misfit Toys
This week’s Manicure Monday is brought to you once again by Pretty & Polished! I’m still on the whole homemade nail polish kick – I’m actually considering making my own personal polish! We’ll see where that goes. Regardless, I think finding a polish like this can be nail art in itself! This isn’t an Orly […]
Manicure Monday: Pretty & Polished
As anyone that knows me knows, nail polish is my favorite hobby, my favorite love, and maybe even my biggest vice. I have more nail polish than I really know what to do with, but I can’t help myself from buying more. I love finding new colors that I’ve never seen before, but that seems […]
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 a simple statement that can make a big impact. And with Halloween, there are so many different designs […]

Manicure Monday: Feathery Accent
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 […]
A Beauty Review: Lancome L’Absolu Nu
LANCÔME L’Absolu Nu in Red Chiffon ($29) A bright, shimmery red lipstick. LANCÔME L’Absolu Nu in Beige Tulle ($29) A sheer taupe-y beige. As a college student on a budget, I am a firm believer that many drugstore brands can be just as good as high-end brands. I have to say, though, that money is well spent on LANCÔME L’Absolu […]
